FAMILY


RIV Nation enjoyed yet another successful Volleyball Alumni / Family Weekend this past weekend. On Friday night the current RIV Squad remained undefeated in conference play with a 3-1 win over rival Emmanuel College.


On Saturday a lunch was held with over 100 male and female volleyball alumni, friends, current players and family members. Lindsay Chace ('10) and Don Ferguson ('00) were guest speakers for the event. The lunch ended with Coach Kolek and Coach Martin presenting to the alumni a "Champions Chalice". The Chalice has engraved on it all 15 of the Raiders men's and women's volleyball championships with plenty of room for current and future RIV squads to add onto.


Finally the weekend ended with a men's alumni match in which the current RIV squad defeated the alum's 4-1. The alumni team featured for the first time together All American middle hitters Andy Chace ('06) and Matt Ferreira ('10) along with conference player of the year setters Nhut Chau ('06) and Zach Hansen ('10). Also participating in the match was Ferguson, Gabe Howard ('04), Jeff Costa ('05), Javier Laureano ('06), Billy Werner ('06), Kurt Monaco ('06), Mike Bucarrelli ('06), Greg Stanton ('06), Kevin Harrington ('07), Justin Andreozzi ('07), Scott Wright ('09), and Kyle O'Neill ('10).
