MOHAWK ANNOUNCES MEN'S VOLLEYBALL RECRUITS

HAMILTON, Ont. - Mohawk men's volleyball coach Matthew Schnarr has announced five new recruits for the 2013-14 Mountaineers.

Setter/libero Benjamin Tonin comes to Mohawk from Westmount Secondary School and the Mountain Athletic Club. The 5-foot-10 Tonin, who played for the City and SOSSA champions last season, was Senior Athlete of the Year and can play various positions.

Six-foot-three rightside Steven Falk from Eden High School and the Niagara Rapids is a two-time OFSAA and OVA gold medalist whose physical play at the net is expected to be a great asset to the Mountaineers in the years ahead, especially as an offensive force.

Bryce Marcussen is a 7-foot-1 middle blocker from Strathroy District Collegiate Institute who has also played for Forest City 17U and LVC Fire 18U. His school's Volleyball MVP, Bryce was a provincial all-star with the Ontario champion LVC club. Offensive and defensive production is expected from this player.

Six-foot-five setter Jason Mueller from Grand River Collegiate and the University of Waterloo, also played club volleyball with the Kitchener-Waterloo Tigers. A winner of four WCSSAA and three CWOSSA gold medals as well as an OFSAA silver, was a two-time first-team all-star and a league MVP. He has size and soft hands.

Right side/middle Isaac Cook from city senior champion Westmount Secondary School and the Mountain Athletic Club, was a gold medalist at nationals in Edmonton and a member of the two-time SOSSA champions. The six-foot-four Cook is considered to have a very sound technical game.
