(Cornwall, ON - December 7, 2010) The Canadian Colleges Athletic Association has listed the CCAA Volleyball Athletes of the Month for November. The CCAA Athlete of the Month program recognizes student-athletes for their outstanding event performance and athletic accomplishments during that month.

The distinction is bestowed upon one male and one female student-athlete in each conference participating in the CCAA Volleyball; the five conferences are the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) the Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association (ACAA), the British Columbia Colleges Athletic Association (BCCAA), the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) and the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ).

ACAA:
