As the reigning Sports Imports/AVCA Division II National Player of the Week, Van Wienen put up staggering numbers once again as the Chargers had a perfect four-match stretch.
The junior middle hit over .450 in 16 sets played and averaged four kills per game. She was also named MVP of the Hillsdale Volleyball Tournament.
Versus the nationally ranked Sailfish from PBA, Van Wienen had 19 kills on 37 swings for a .459 hitting percentage. She was unstoppable against Northwood with a .696 hitting percentage, ending with 16 kills on just 23 swings.
Defensively, she was just as stout up front, stuffing Northwood for a total of 11 blocks. It was a number that ranks tied for the second most total blocks in a match in conference history (12 is the all-time record).
Van Wienen finished with 64 kills vs. just nine attacking errors on 121 total attempts during the week. She currently ranks second in the Great Midwest in hitting percentage, third in kills and also third in blocks.
Van Wienen was also the conference offensive player of the week to start the fall as Hillsdale went 3-1 down in Florida at the Terrace Hotel Classic. The Chargers should continue to rise in the new AVCA National Poll.
