Vanesa Gatto and Jenson Yuen earn Athlete of the Week honours.
Vanesa Gatto is the Capilano University Blues women’s Athlete of the Week.
Gatto started at outside hitter instead of her usual libero spot in both games last weekend for the Blues and helped the team to its best showing of the season.
The fourth-year native of Coquitlam chalked up 14 kills in Friday’s five-set defeat to COTR while adding two aces. On Saturday, she reached double digits again with 10 kills and had a block and an ace as CapU bounced back with a win two split the set against visiting COTR.
