Cadore spearheaded a defense that forced a single-game program-record seven turnovers in Saturday’s home opening 42-6 onslaught of Ave Maria. His 34-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown in the third quarter put the Panthers ahead 35-0, and the game ultimately out of reach. Cadore collected seven total tackles, including a team-high five solo, and an interception to go along with the fumble recovery.

Led by Dick, the volleyball team is riding a three-game winning streak following the Eckerd College Classic less than a week ago.

The junior from St. Louis, Missouri recorded a monster double-double, with 27 kills and 17 digs, and also had a team-high 52.2 hitting percentage in the thrilling five-set victory over Chadron State on Friday.
