He continued his hot play with a 19-kill, seven dig, two-block outing in the Gulls’ sweep of then-No. 7 Rivier. The offensive spark plug concluded the tournament with a double-double, totaling 23 kills, 13 digs and five blocks in Endicott’s 3-2 win over MIT. For the week, Witkofsky averaged 6.39 kills, 1.64 digs, 1.71 blocks and 6.39 points per game and hit .393, all leading to tournament MVP honors.
