RDC Athlete of the Week for Feb. 3, 2020
Setter Tom Wass made an impact this past weekend as the Red Deer College Kings (14-4) defeated the first place SAIT Trojans twice. Tom, who is from Adelaide, Australia, was effective distributing the ball to a variety of RDC offensive weapons. The third-year totaled 40 assists, nine digs, four kills, one ace and one stuff block in Friday’s four set road victory (25-22, 18-25, 25-23 and 25-16). Then in Saturday’s sweep (25-20, 25-22 and 25-22) at home, the Bachelor of Arts student accumulated 33 assists, seven kills, four digs and a pair of service aces. In seven sets, Tom averaged 10.43 assists per set. He currently leads the league with 9.11 assists per set. Over 18 matches this season, the six-foot-two student-athlete has amassed 583 assists, 93 digs, 36 kills, 21 blocks and 14 service aces.
Congratulations Tom!

The third-year setter finished with 56 assists, 12 digs, three kills, three stuff blocks and two service aces over seven sets in a consistent team effort. Tom picked up 28 assists, nine digs, one ace and one stuff block in Friday’s three set sweep (26-24, 25-17 and 25-20), earning the Collegiate Sports Medicine Kings Player-of-the-Game. The Bachelor of Arts student added 28 assists, three kills, three digs, two stuff blocks and one ace in Saturday’s four set victory (25-21, 25-21, 20-25 and 25-20), helping RDC (9-3) earn four of a possible four points in the standings.

RDC Athlete of the Week for Jan. 21, 2019
Thomas Wass made a positive impact with the Red Deer College Kings this past weekend against the visiting Briercrest College Clippers. On Friday, the second-year setter played a prominent role in the Kings’ three set victory (25-15, 25-21 and 26-24), contributing a remarkable 42 assists, six digs and four kills. For his outstanding performance, the Bachelor of Arts student was named the Kings Player-of-the-Game.
"I thought that Tom had his best match of the season, in terms of spreading out the offence and the player-of-the-game was well deserved," says Kings Head Coach Aaron Schulha. "Forty-two assists in three sets is quite a bit. He did a good job in terms of mixing things."
Then on Saturday, the setter from Adelaide, Australia helped the Kings down the Clippers in five sets (23-25, 25-17, 25-23, 20-25 and 15-9). Thomas had impressive statistics once again, accumulating 55 assists, 11 digs, four kills and one ace.
Congratulations Tom!
