A pair of outside hitters earn Athletes of the Week recognition for the third week of games in 2025.
Nnya Mbaoma is the Capilano University Blues women's Athlete of the Week.
The 5-foot-10 outside hitter led the Blues in kills both nights, helping extend Capilano’s winning streak to nine games with a pair of victories over visiting Camosun.
On Friday, Mbaoma recorded 16 blocks, hitting at a .382 clip while also getting in on two blocks and making seven digs.
She upped the ante on Saturday with 20 kills to accompany two aces. Her 36 kills over just seven sets on the weekend keep her near the top of the PACWEST leaderboard in both total kills and kills per set.
Kingsley Ndu is the Capilano University Blues men’s Athlete of the Week.
The first-year outside hitter broke out in a marathon weekend of volleyball and helped the Blues snap a losing streak with a win Saturday over Camosun.
In Friday’s five-set opener, the graduate of Dr. Charles Best Secondary notched a season-best 16 kills while also picking up eight digs.
Coming back Saturday for five more sets, Ndu racked up 13 more kills with two aces, including the match-winning serve in an extra-points fifth-set
