Stephane Blinn, a fourth-year outside hitter from Nasonworth, NB, is the STU Tommies Coastal Graphics Athlete of the Month for November.

The veteran hitter led the team offensively in every match so far this season. His 47 kills put him atop the Atlantic Collegiate Athletic Association in kills per set and kill percentage.

"Stephane has been a force for us game after game," Tommies head coach Francis Duguay said. "His aggressive play has been a struggle for opposing teams and his defense has been stellar."

Blinn, a former ACAA all-conference player, also tallied 25 digs, three service aces, and two blocks in four matches.

The Tommies are currently first in the ACAA and are no. 10 in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association national rankings.
