Aaron Cockerill
Senior Aaron Cockerill from Manitoba, Canada, finished tied for 21st in the Price’s Give ‘Em Five Invitational in El Paso, Texas, over the weekend. Cockerill finished with a 6-under-par 210, while the Vandals combined for a 5-under-par 859 to finish in 12th place. Cockerill had a strong start to the tournament. He accumulated eight birdies and was in the top 10 by the end of the first round. Cockerill capped off his second round with a stretch of four-straight birdies on the back nine. He would have finished higher if it weren’t for a poor third round, where he finished with five bogies and only two birdies.

Freshman Felipe Fonseca from Curitiba, Brazil, had a strong performance in the Gonzaga Bulldog Fall Classic over the weekend. In the Blue Flight, Fonseca made it to the final match before losing to the tournament’s top seed. In the first round, Fonseca defeated Gonzaga’s Vicente Varas 6-2, 7-5. He followed it up with a second round victory over Eastern Washington’s Robert Dula 6-0, 0-6, 7-6 and a third round semifinal victory over Portland State’s Ethan Lopez 6-3, 6-1. He lost in the finals to Gonzaga’s Alvaro Nazal, the No. 1 seed for the tournament.
“Felipe was brilliant this weekend,” said Idaho coach Art Hoomiratana. “He beat some very good players to get to the final and competed very well against one of the best players in the Northwest. His growth this fall was so fun to watch and we are happy to have him.”

With 10 digs against Weber State Thursday, defensive specialist Jenna Ellis only needed one more dig against Idaho State to reach 1,000 for her volleyball career. She got that and more with 23 digs, to bring her career total to 1,022. The 23 digs also matched a season high for the junior from Pocatello, and were the most from any player on the court Saturday.

Despite the soccer team losing both its games last weekend, sophomore forward Olivia Baggerly showed a good individual performance. In Friday’s loss to Sacramento State, Baggerly found sophomore Alyssa Pease in the 20th minute for the game’s first goal. The Vandals led 2-0, but Sacramento State scored four unanswered goals to win 4-2. Sunday, Idaho trailed 3-0, but in the 85th minute Baggerly found the back of the net for a goal. She scored the goal from 35 yards out to get the Vandals on the scoreboard for their only score of the game.

Middle blocker Torrin Crawford filled in for senior middle blocker Alyssa Schultz Thursday against Weber State. The freshman finished an error-free night with eight kills and a .667 hitting percentage. Crawford was tied for the team high in blocks with two. She followed up the performance with four kills in the loss to Idaho State Saturday.
“Torrin has kind of just been waiting for her time,” Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said. “We have some great middles right now, and it is not surprising to me that she came in and was ready to go. She has been waiting for her opportunity and she did a great job tonight.”
