March 23, 2010

Emmanuel's junior middle hitter Thomas McCaffrey was named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Men's Volleyball Player of the Week for the week ending on March 20th. During the seven-day span, McCaffrey led Emmanuel to a 4-0 week, as the Saints defeated all of their opponents in straight sets. The Massapequa, New York native hit .452 for the week and averaged 2.63 kills and 0.75 blocks per set, as Emmanuel improved to 25-7 on the season.

McCaffrey leads Emmanuel in blocking, as he averages close to one full block per set. He is also ranked 19th nationally in this category. McCaffrey, who transferred in to Emmanuel as a junior, has helped the Saints to a record-setting season this year. Emmanuel is currently on a ten-match win streak and the Saints have set a new program record for wins in a season in 2010 (currently at 25 wins).

McCaffrey and the Saints, which are currently ranked 11th nationally, are scheduled to face 14th-ranked Newbury College this Thursday night (3/25) at 7pm.
