Cieszkiewicz and Middleton Named UB's Purple Knights of the Week (Oct. 20-26)

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – In recognition of terrific efforts across a trio of competitions last week, freshman Camdyn Cieszkiewicz of the University of Bridgeport's volleyball team and senior Toby Middleton of the men's cross country squad have been tabbed as UB's Purple Knights of the Week, for the week ending Oct. 26, 2025.

Cieszkiewicz delivered an outstanding week for a UB volleyball squad that didn't drop a single set in its two matches. The Illinois native averaged an impressive 12.5 assists per set in victories over Dominican and Holy Family, while also contributing 12 digs, four blocks, and three aces. She has now surpassed 30 assists in five straight contests and currently ranks sixth in the CACC in assists per set (7.35) this season.

Middleton continued his standout senior campaign with another superb performance at the CACC Championship Meet this past Sunday in Philadelphia. The native of England earned All-Conference honors courtesy of a second-place finish in a time of 26:28.43 (8K). He now has four top-10 finishes this season and has broken UB's 8K program record twice.
