Avalanche Athlete of the Week: Dylan Annala 

The Avalanche closed out the first semester with two big wins over the visiting Capilano Blues, and 4th-year opposite Dylan Annala was at the center of it all. On Friday night, Dylan delivered a career-high and PACWEST season-high 27 kills along with 4 digs in a hard-fought 3–2 victory. He followed it up on Saturday with another dominant performance, finishing with 14 kills, 4 digs, 2 blocks, and an ace in a clean 3–0 sweep. Across the weekend, Dylan racked up 44 total points in just eight sets, continuing his rise up the PACWEST leaderboards.

Coach Farrero praised his impact, noting that Dylan is a major part of the team’s offensive game plan and brings physicality, confidence, and a growing offensive repertoire. “On Friday night he was spectacular with 27 kills on 48 attempts, and on Saturday he was at his best in the final set, scoring 10 points alone as we closed out the match convincingly. For us to reach our goals in the second semester, Dylan is going to continue to be a big part of our team, and I look forward to challenging him to reach new heights.”
