Ball State women's volleyball freshman outside attacker Sarah Obras was named the Cardinals' first Mid-American Conference weekly award winner of the 2002 season, when she was named MAC West Division Player of the Week for her performances the week of Sept. 30 - Oct. 6. Obras shares the award with Angie Sillmon of Western Michigan.
On Oct. 4, against the Toledo Rockets, Obras recorded a career-high 26 kills as well as 12 digs for her sixth double-double of the season. In the final game of that match, Obras had six kills and one block assists, making her responsible for seven of the Cardinals' 15 points.
The following night against IP-Fort Wayne, Obras again notched 26 kills to go along with 18 digs. This performance against the Mastodons was her seventh double-double of the season.
For the season, Obras leads the Ball State team in kills with 232. She also ranks second in digs with 141 and digs per game with a 2.47 average. Her .220 (232-104-581) hitting percentage and 31 total blocks are both good enough for fourth on the team.
Obras and the rest of the Ball State team will be back in action these weekend as they host matches against Kent State and Buffalo on Friday and Saturday respectfully. Both match are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in Worthen Arena.
