Freshman middle blocker Matthew Knigge picked up his second UVC Rookie of the Week honor, and Vassar’s fourth of the season, as he led the Brewers to a 2-1 week which included a win over No. 13 nationally ranked MIT. Over the two games in which he played, Knigge finished the week with 25 kills, four service aces, eight blocks, and hit a team-best .579. Against Endicott, the freshman posted 11 kills on just 12 swings, blocked three attacks and posted three aces. The next day against MIT, he chalked up 14 kills, adding seven digs and five blocks.
