The University of Winnipeg Wesmen in conjunction with the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) is pleased to announce that first year Men’s Volleyball Player Casey Schouten has been named to the CIS Men’s Volleyball All-Rookie Team. The announcement was made at the CIS Men’s Volleyball Championship awards dinner held this evening in Quebec City, Quebec.

The 6’5” opposite out of Miles MacDonell Collegiate was a starter in all 22 matches during the 2012-2013 Canada West regular season. Schouten finished second on the team in kills (220) and points (292), third in digs (140) and blocks (45) while leading the team with 20 service aces. Schouten recorded 10 plus kills in 14 regular season matches including a season high 18 kill performance against Trinity Western on November 23, 2012. The following night, Schouten had a season high 15 digs against the Spartans.

"Casey has been in the opposite position as a starter this season which is a rare for a first year player.  Normally a senior player takes on that responsibility.  A very hard hitter and server, Casey handled the job well.  The strong play of the team assisted Casey in being selected as one of the top freshman in all of Canada this season", said Wesmen Men's Volleyball head coach Larry McKay.
