Medaille Sports

Senior Andrew Nawotka (Grand Island, NY/Grand Island)(pictured) started the 2010 season on the sideline with an injury.  He is healthy now and his performance last week earned him NECVA Western Division Player of the Week honors.  The Mavericks went (2-1) last week and Nawotka led the way as he posted (43) kills while hitting at a (.381) clip.  Even more impressive was his defensive effort at the net where he came up with (19) total blocks.  The Mavs are currently (16-8) on the year and are ranked 9th in the AVCA (national) poll and 5th in the NECVA (conference) rankings.  The Mavs will head to Stevenson University this weekend to take part in their tournament.  They will face Division II Pfeiffer University at 7:00pm on Friday (3/12).
