After having its season cut short due to the cancellation of spring sports, the Briar Cliff men's volleyball ends the year on a high note with four players named to all-conference teams.
Noah Marasco-Ayau, a senior, earned a spot on 2020 AMC/GPAC/KCAC first team,
Brandon Oswald (senior) and
Kimo Rosa (junior) were named to the second team and
Tyler Godown (sophomore) was deemed honorable mention.
Marasco-Ayau led the Cliff and the conference in digs this season, tallying 3.3 digs per set. He was second on the team in total service aces with 12 and is the lone Charger to have played in all 60 sets. The Honolulu, Hawaii native was twice named the conference Defensive Player of the Week this season. This is the second first-team honor of his career and he was named Libero of the Year last season, an award the conference did not present this year. Marasco Ayau was a second-team pick as a sophomore.Â
Oswald repeats as a second-team honoree. He led the Charger attack with 203 total kills on the season and Parkt down 3.6 per set. Defensively, Oswald was second in digs with 93 and took part in 28 blocks.Â
Rosa earned a spot on the second team in his second team of action with the Cliff. He was a leader at the net, taking part in 62 blocks and tallying a swing rate of .398. He also tallied 25 ace serves, a team best, and tied for third in the conference in aces per set with .4. Rosa was also second in the conference in total blocks and third in blocks per game.
Godown has earned his second honorable mention in as many seasons at BC. His attack percentage of .400 was the best of the Charger attackers and ranked fifth in the conference. Godown also contributed 45 blocks this season.Â
