Men’s Volleyball Zach van Geel takes home Athlete of the Week honours powered by Meal Prep for You, for the week ending on October 27th.

van Geel led the Heat this weekend to several offensive program records for attack efficiency and his distribution was impressive with three players on the Heat registering double digit kills in each match against the Griffins. On Friday, van Geel posted 35 assists, tying him for fourth all-time in team history for assists in a match, and his play led the team to a .476 hitting percentage, the second-best single-game in team history. He would add another 41 assists on Saturday and his 10.9 assists per set ranks him 3rd in the conference early in the season. Currently his offence leads Canada West in attack efficiency (.414 percent) and kills per set (15.0) in the team categories.

This is the first time this season and in his career that van Geel has been named Athlete of the Week.
