September 12, 2022 | Women's Volleyball
CLEVELAND, Ohio - - For her role in helping guide the women's volleyball team to the Ball State Tournament Championship, senior middle Marie Plitt has been named the Mid-American Conference West Division Offensive Player of the Week.
Plitt, who earned MAC West Division Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in her career, was named the tournament's MVP after leading the Cardinals to a 3-0 record in the event. She paced the squad with 34 kills and a .484 (34-4-62) attack percentage over the three matches.
The .484 hitting mark was the best in the league last week and aided by a program-record .833 (15-0-18) attack percentage in the three-set sweep of Arkansas State. Plitt went on to score 15 more kills and a .353 (15-3-34) rate of success in the championship match victory over Green Bay.
Plitt also led Ball State at the net with eight total blocks and a 0.67 blocks-per-set average, while tallying 14 digs (1.17 per set) and one service ace.
The Ball State women's volleyball team returns to action Tuesday, when it closes a four-match homestand with a 6 p.m. first serve versus Dayton at Worthen Arena.
