Capilano University's Kira Sutcliffe was named the PacWest female volleyball athlete of the week after putting together a pair of stellar performances for the Blues earlier this month.
The right side hitter from Osoyoos put on a show as the Blues scored a pair of road victories over the Columbia Bible College Bearcats Jan. 9-10. In the Friday match Sutcliffe tallied 14 kills,14 digs, two blocks and an ace as Capilano scored a 3-1 victory.
One night later she was at it again, totaling 12 kills, 10 digs, four blocks and an
ace as the Blues completed the weekend sweep with a 3-0 win.
As of Jan. 18 Sutcliffe ranked second in the league in kills with 3.3 per set, 14th in the league in blocks with 0.43 per set and second in total offence.
The Blues are cruising at the top of the PacWest standings with a 13-1 record and are ranked No. 3 in Canada. Their next home games will come Feb. 6 and 7 against Camosun.
North Vancouver's Cody Porter was named the Vaughn WHL Goaltender of the Month for December, 2014 for his stellar play with the Vancouver Giants.
The 17-year-old was officially Vancouver's backup but still managed to shine, putting together a 3-0-1-0 record during the month while giving up only five goals in 104 shots. Those numbers translated to a 1.25 goals against average and a .954 save percentage, including one shutout.
For the season Porter has a record of 8-8-1-1 with a 3.25 goals against average and .897 save percentage, as of Jan. 22. - Compiled by Andy Prest Email info about upcoming sporting events or recent results to [email protected].
