Outside hitter Joren Zeeman was in the OUA’s top three of nearly every statistical category including points, points per game and kills per game. The third-year outside hitter was named the OUA championship’s player of the game in the men’s volleyball after posting a game-high 19 kills in the team’s victory over the Guelph Gryphons. He added to his OUA honour streak this season when he was named an OUA first-team All-Star for the second consecutive time and helped the Gaels into the top five in the country, leading the team in kills in their five-set win over the Thompson Rivers University Wolf Pack in the fifth-place game.
