Dick, Ivanov named Brock University Athletes of the Week

Sadie Dick (St. Catharines, Ont) of the women’s volleyball team and Michael Ivanov (Niagara Falls, Ont) of the men’s track and field team have been named the Brock University Athletes of the Week for the period ending Sunday, March 10. 

The Brock Badgers women’s volleyball won their third consecutive Quigley Cup (Ontario University Athletics Championship) on Friday, March 8, and Dick was a big reason for their success. The junior right side was relied upon throughout the match, earning a team-high 37 attack attempts and finishing with a .297 hitting percentage off a team-leading 15 kills and only four attack errors. She also added three blocks to lead all Badgers with 18 points. 

Ivanov set Brock track and field history on Saturday, March 9, winning the first ever national medal for the program. The Business major made a successful jump of 4.75-metres in the men’s pole vault to take home a bronze medal; besting his fifth place finish from a year ago. Ivanov finished 20 centimetres ahead of fourth-place finisher Bennett Woods of the Guelph Gryphons to seal his place in Brock Badgers history.
