Congratulations to Capilano University women's volleyball player Michelle Torresan and to Vancouver Island University men's volleyball player Krzysztof Orman who were awarded BCCAA volleyball athletes of the week.
Torresan is from Richmond, B.C. and graduated from McRoberts Secondary. Torresan is in her 3rd year with the Blues and is a 2008 BCCAA Academic Excellence Award recipient and a recipient of the prestigious Capilano Excellence Scholarship. She is a former member of Team BC Beach and has developed into one of the best all-around players in the BCCAA. This year, Torresan has become the primary outside hitter for the Blues. On Friday, She led the Blues to an impressive 3-0 victory over the visiting Douglas Royals who are ranked #4 in the BCCAA. In the first set of the evening, Torresan tallied 7 kills as the team posted a 25-17 win. For the match, she had 17 kills (5.7/set) on only 28 swings and hit a sparkling .536. On defense, Torresan led the team with 12 digs (4.0/set) and on serve receive she was outstanding with a 2.7 passing rating. In addition, she chipped in with 2 aces and a stuff block. The Blues are presently #2 in the BCCAA and play away next weekend against the #4 BCCAA ranked CBC Bearcats on Nov. 13th & 14th, 2009.
Orman is in his 1st year in the BCCAA but 4th year of eligibility. He has come to the Mariners from Poland, where he played 3 years at Lodz University. In 2006, Orman won a bronze medal at the U21 World Beach Championships and a Silver Medal at the U20 European Beach Championships. This past summer he won a Gold Medal at the European Universities Championship. This weekend Orman helped lift the Mariners to two big home victories over the UFV Cascades. He led the way with 31 kills (38% kill efficiency and 3.45 kills/game), 5 blocks, 2 aces, 7 digs and was their most consistent passer this weekend. With UFV being one of the perennial top teams in the conference, these were important wins for the Mariners to start the season off. |
