Volleyball's Athletes of the Week

The PACWEST is pleased to announce the volleyball Athlete of the Week following Week 11 of the regular season.

Female Volleyball Athlete of the Week
Linnea Brickwood – VIU Mariners

The Mariners were rolling on all cylinders in Week 11 with setter Linnea Brickwood driving the bus in two sweeps of the Capilano Blues, a team fighting for a playoff spot. Her direction of the offense allowed nine different Mariner hitters to earn kills over the weekend. Her contributions weren’t limited to her setting. In Friday’s game, she earned team highs in aces (5), solo blocks (2), and digs (8). On Saturday, she joined the attack parade with four kills of her own along with seven more digs.

Male Volleyball Athlete of the Week
Enrico Del Mundo – VIU Mariners

Second-year libero Enrico Del Mundo had two outstanding matches against the Blues of Capilano in Week 11. He combined for 22 total digs over the weekend and that included an incredible 13 digs over two sets on Saturday—far above the top digs-per-set average in the conference. Del Mundo added three setter assists and stabilized the Mariners service reception all weekend. Head coach Abe Avender said that Del Mundo “has established himself as one of the top liberos in the PACWEST with his outstanding play this season for the Mariners.”
