However, due to their strong season, the Cougars were awarded an at-large berth in the 2019 U Sports Men's Volleyball Championship tournament, which was their first ever appearance in the national event.[15] The Cougars finished in sixth place in the 2019 national tournament.[16] The Cougars play their home games at the Kenyon Court on the MRU campus.
