MUNCIE, Ind. – As the Ball State Men's Volleyball Program prepares to hit the road for a pair of away matches this week, senior libero Victor Scherer has been named the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Defensive Player of the Week, announced by the league Tuesday morning. Scherer earns the honor for the first time in his career.

The 2023 national dig leader aided the Cardinals with 22 this past week, helping Ball State secure a 4-0 mark to open conference play while remaining unbeaten inside Worthen Arena. Versus McKendree (Feb. 12) Scherer posted a season-high 13 digs, followed by a nine-dig performance versus Lindenwood (Feb. 13). His 2.75 digs per set average between the two contests ranked second in the conference.

The ninth-ranked Ball State men's volleyball team travels to No. 13 Ohio State on Feb. 19 and Northern Kentucky on Feb. 21. First serve against the Buckeyes starts at 7 p.m. and action versus the Norse begins at 5 p.m.
