Rachel Rivers (Cambridge) of the Niagara Knights women's volleyball program has been named the OCAA women's volleyball athlete of the week. A second-year Computer Programming Analyst student, Rivers was phenomenal for the Knights as they went 2-0 last week and extended their season-high winning streak to four matches.
On January 14th Rivers recorded season-highs by scoring 17 points and adding 17 digs in the Knights 3-1 victory over the visiting Mountaineers. Her strong play continued on January 20th when Niagara travelled to Windsor to take on the St. Clair Saints. Rivers led the Knights for the second consecutive game with 16 points and 12 assists as the Knights trumped the Saints 3-1.
Rivers and the rest of the Knights will return to the court on January 20th when they welcome the undefeated Humber Hawks to the Welland Campus Athletic Centre at 6:00 pm. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $5.00 while students and those under the age of 17 are admitted free. The game will be streamed live at http://goknights.ca/watchlive
