Declan Dunn,a third-year Business Management student,has been the orchestrator of the TMU Bold’s men’s volleyball offense. His performance over the past week was nothing short of spectacular, playing a pivotal role in securing two crucial victories against Trent University. Dunn’s ability to distribute the ball with pinpoint accuracy and maintain composure under pressure has been a game-changer for the Bold as they head into the latter half of their 2025 season.

on Friday, Dunn dished out an impressive 30 assists, setting the stage for his team’s win. But he didn’t stop ther. In Saturday’s matchup, he elevated his game to a new level, recording a career-high 40 assists. This level of consistent, high-level play from a setter is akin to a quarterback in American football consistently hitting receivers in stride for first downs, keeping the chains moving and the offense alive. His leadership on the court, guiding the offense with a calm demeanor, was instrumental in closing out the 2025 portion of their schedule on a high note.

The impact of a skilled setter like Dunn cannot be overstated. In volleyball, the setter is the quarterback, the conductor, the one who makes everyone else look good. Dunn’s ability to read the game,anticipate plays,and deliver perfect sets allows his hitters to maximize their potential. This kind of synergy is what separates good teams from great ones, and Dunn is clearly the linchpin for the Bold.
