Marmot Basin/Hostelling International Jasper ACAC Athletes of the Week

Nov. 12-18, 2012

Rookie Elly Wendel helped Briercrest through adversity over the weekend as they battled against the undefeated, and CCAA nationally seventh ranked, NAIT Ooks both Friday and Saturday. NAIT had not lost a game all year and over the weekend Briercrest took two games off of them Friday and one Saturday. After losing their starting setter on Friday, Wendel  was a stable force for the Clippers all weekend, she led both teams in kills both days, and received player of the match honours on Friday evening with her 12 kill and team high two service aces, to go with 20 digs and two blocks. She followed that up on Saturday with a  match high 14 kills to go with 12 digs and 1 block. She finished the weekend with 26 kills, two service aces, 36 digs, and three blocks.

Elly is from Caronport, SK and in her first year of BA Biblical Studies at Briercrest College.

Congratulations Elly on your being named Athlete of the Week!
