Towering at 6-foot-10, Kingsmen volleyball middle blocker Borys Horiuk's height is a big advantage on the court, but not always off it. As a member of the most well-traveled team on campus, the senior from Ukraine regularly struggles to find legroom on the program's frequent cross-country flights to face competition on the East Coast. "It can get cramped," Horiuk said.

On the court, it's Horiuk's opponents who are uncomfortable.

Beyond his ability to dominate at the net - he's 25th in Division III with 69 total blocks this year - the 21-year-old has mastered a devastating serve; he's currently second on the team in aces (18). If Cal Lutheran (19-6) is able to repeat as national champions, Horiuk will be a huge reason why.
