Rafael Hilario, of the men’s volleyball team, is the UNB REDS/Papa John’s Pizza male Athlete of the Week.
Hilario was a key contributor to the REDS’ sweep of the Dalhousie Tigers in their weekend series.
In Friday’s 3-1 victory, Hilario recorded 23 kills on an amazing .514 hitting percentage, added eight digs, and scored 24.5 points, earning Player of the Game honours.
On Saturday, in the REDS 3-1 win, he added 16 kills and eight digs and scored 18.5 points.
“Raf had a massive weekend for us, with dominant offensive performances in both matches,” said REDS head coach Dan McMorran. “His level of play continues to rise at a crucial time in the season, and he’ll be one of our key pieces as we head into playoffs.”
Hilario and his REDS teammates wrap up their RSEQ regular season schedule on February 9th and 10th when they visit league-leading Sherbrooke.
