Men’s Basketball Athlete of the Week
Kye Kotapski-Tinga – VIU Mariners

Guard Kye Kotapski-Tinga had the VIU Gym roaring as the Mariners earned two wins in VIU’s home opening weekend. He was the highest scorer from either team in both games (38 points on Friday and 18 on Saturday) as he shot 60% from the field with a combination of shots from distance and some circus shots near the rim. In Friday’s game, he scored 23 points in the second half to keep the Mariners level with a Falcons team that was hitting on all cylinders on the way towards overtime. In addition to his points, Kye’s well-rounded stat line also included 10 rebounds, 11 assists, four steals, and a block.
