Offensive Player of the Week
Journey Blevins
Findlay
Outside Hitter
Freshman
Richwood, OH (North Union HS)
 
Already a two-time player of the week and a recent Midwest Region Crossover All-Tournament Team member, Blevins continues to put together a season to remember in her first year on the floor.
 
Blevins carved out her third weekly honor as the Oilers improved to 13-6 overall with cross divisional wins over Tiffin and Ashland.
 
Blevins set the tone with a 5.75 kills per set average, exceeding her season totals that rank second best in the league for both kills and points.
 
The freshman operated at a .375 hitting percentage while posting three digs per set and producing three service aces.
 
Defensive Player of the Week
Alli Wiese
Hillsdale
Defensive Specialist
Freshman
Mattawan, MI (Mattawan HS)
 
Wiese, like Blevins, earned honors for the third time this year as the nationally ranked Chargers remain settled at No. 18 in the AVCA Poll.
 
Wiese has been consistently leading her position group in the conference in digs per set as Hillsdale became the first program from either division to earn a postseason bid.
 
Hillsdale remains undefeated in the conference standings at 11-0 and is 20-4 overall this year, figuring to rank high in the Midwest Region rankings that will come out in two weeks.
 
Wiese posted numbers above her league-leading totals in wins against Tiffin and Ashland that included 6.83 digs per set. The Chargers remain the top defensive program in the Great Midwest while holding opponents to a .133 hitting percentage.
