Tim Finnigan continued his strong pre-season play this weekend throughout the Ramada Inns and Suites Challenge Cup Tournament at RDC. The Kings ended up losing in the final to a very strong RDC Alumni Group led by National Team players Nicholas Cundy and Brock Davidiuk.

Tim's weekend totals in five matches and 15 sets played were; 67 kills, 6 blocks, 26 digs and 6 service aces.  These numbers alone are impressive but if you look at his kill % of 57% and his kill efficiency of 38%, Tim was quite dominant on the weekend.  He also put up great passing numbers over those 5 matches. Tim passed for a 2.29 average over the 5 matches which is a very solid number for any college passer.  However, Tim has recently made the change from a right side player to a left side player which includes a primary passing responsibility.  With the very limited amount of passing reps that he has had, to put up a number like that over a weekend is fantastic.

Congratulations Tim!
