Castillo, Frey Named Blackburn Players of the Week

CARLINVILLE, IL -- This week's Blackburn College Athletics Players of the Week go to freshman Adrian Castillo and junior Kenadee Frey. 

Castillo helped the men's soccer team score two goals this week, getting an assist in both matches. Against Millikin on Wednesday, he took a corner kick and found senior Henry Ibarguen-Londono in the box to start a late second-half rally that saw the Beavers come close to a comeback upset win. He then helped score the team's goal against Greenville by finding sophomore Byron McNeil off a free kick which McNeil was able to head into the net. 

Frey paced the team's offense with 41 assists and four aces. She also added 22 digs and had two block assists. In the team's home St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference opener against Westminster College on Homecoming Saturday, Frey tallied 28 assists, had four aces and 12 digs. 

The Beavers are on the road this coming week, starting Tuesday with the volleyball team travelling to Knox College for a nonconference matchup.

The soccers teams continue SLIAC action Wednesday with matches at Westminster College. 

On Saturday, volleyball returns to SLIAC play with a tri-match against Spalding University and Eureka College that will be played at Spalding. 

Sunday sees the women's golf team return to the links as they will start the SLIAC Championships which continue into Monday.
