With the cancellation of all spring sports due to COVID-19, leading to the lack of Fighting Tiger Athletes-of-the-week; The Fighting Tiger Athletic Department has decided revisit some of our previous “Athlete’s-of-the-Week” to honor them for their accomplishments.
The SUNY Cobleskill Department of Sport & Exercise announced today that senior Mikayla Catherman, Marcellus, N.Y., Marcellus High School, a member of the women’s volleyball team has been named the athletic program’s Fighting Tiger Athlete-of-the-Week.
The senior libero was named to the All-North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) Third Team by the league’s coaches. On the year, she appeared in 94 sets leading the conference in digs per set with 5.74 per outing while finishing second in total digs with 540. The Marcellus, N.Y. native also finished third overall in the league rankings in service aces per set averaging 0.55 per set and fourth in total aces with 52 on the year.
Led by Catherman the Fighting Tigers to a 12-14 overall record during the 2019 season and a noticeable improvement over the 2018 season in which Cobleskill finished 7-17.
