Third-year team captain Alex Botelho brings experience and athleticism to the Knights. The Stoney Creek native stands at six-foot and has 14 blocks on the season.
In the backcourt, Knights defenders Megan Henderson and Kayde Bailey have the ability to keep balls in play. Henderson currently sits in third in the OCAA in digs with 92, while Bailey has recorded 72 digs in six matches this season.
