Congratulations to Brooke Paulsen, first-year nursing student with the RRC Rebels women’s volleyball team, who is our female Athlete of the Week!
•
Paulsen led the Rebels to two wins this past weekend against the ACC Cougars to open the season 2-0. She led the team with an impressive defensive effort tallying 34 digs over the weekend also adding 4 service aces and 18 kills.
•
“Brooke is an excellent defender,” said Rebels head coach Dan McGregor, “she leads by example in practices and games with a positive attitude and strong work ethic.”
•
The Rebels take on the PUC Pilots (0-0) in a home-and-home series this weekend, playing at RRC on Friday night at 6:00 PM then in Otterburne, MB Saturday at 6:00 PM.
Congratulations to @cmu_blazers fourth-year midfielder Naomi Klassen, who is our female Athlete of the Week. Klassen scored a header against the @provathletics in this past weekend’s Final Four and saved a critical breakaway off the line in the final to help the Blazers win the 2018 women’s soccer championship 2-0 over the two-time defending champion @bubobcats.
•
“The clearance really personified Naomi’s play in that she showed awareness of the trailing player, sprinted past several players on both teams without giving up, and sacrificed her body to make the play,” said co-head coach Lianna Bestvater.
•
“Naomi is the engine of our team,” said Bestvater continued. “She consistently and diligently does her job at holding midfield, winning tackles and intelligently distributing the ball. During playoffs we required her to play a few different positions based on the game situation, which she did admirably and unquestioningly.”
Congratulations to @cmu_blazers first-year right back Kieran Baydock, who is our male Athlete of the Week. Baydock’s contribution to his team this past weekend was essential to the Blazers 1-0 men’s soccer championship win over the top-ranked @bubobcats •
“He is a solid defender that provided crucial tackles, defensive organization, winning balls in the air and shutting down the best of the Bobcats attacks,” said Blazers first-year head coach Anderson Pereira”
•
“His great crosses resulted in a beautiful assist to the winning goal in the final,” Pereira continued. “Not to mention his leadership in the dressing room and on the field motivates the guys to give their best and believe in themselves.”
