Rimando (Mililani, Hawaii) averaged 5.00 kills per set with a .294 attack percentage and 2.64 digs per set on the week, including 20 kills in Saturday's 3-2 win at Wheaton that clinched Mount Holyoke's first NEWMAC Tournament berth since 2006.

Rimando was also named NEWMAC Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 14.
