NAME: Caitlin Nyhus IMPRESSIVE STATS: Caitlin Nyhus is a 4th year setter for UBC O and last years BCCAA Provincial Championship MVP. Nyhus is a graduate of Penticton Secondary. At UBC O she has developed her game and as a team leader, brings a very consistent style of play and a fiery competitive streak to every match. The team looks to Caitlin to provide the extra spark with her on-the-floor leadership. Nyhus had two very solid matches for the Heat in the opening weekend of BCCAA play. UBC O travelled to Victoria were they swept Camosun 3-0 on Friday and then again on Saturday. Nyhus kept the offence unpredictable and the other team off balance by spreading the offence around. In both matches she made some key plays at important junctures and also led the team in digs in the 2nd match. Nyhus would finish the weekend with 2 kills, 1 ace and 17 digs. |
