2022-23 MCAC Men’s Volleyball Coach of the Year: Don Dulder – Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) Blazers
“I am so grateful that Don is working with our student-athletes. His vision and expertise have taken the team to new heights over the past year including their current spot at #8 in the national rankings. One thing that stands out about Don is how much he values his athletes’ insights and he makes sure that his coaching aligns with the goals his athletes have for themselves. He is a firm believer that academics come first and his high standards are reflected in the large number of National Scholars on his team. He totally deserves this recognition for his commitment to the Blazers and the MCAC.” – Cara Isaak, CMU Blazers Director, Athletics
