In her second full week playing the libero position for Ball State women’s volleyball, Alex Fuelling was named Mid-American Conference Devensive Player of the Week. She averaged 4.71 digs per set in four matches last week and set a career high with 24 digs against IPFW.
Ball State managed a 3-2 victory over IPFW on its way to a 3-1 record in four matches. In total, Fuelling tallied 80 digs, four service aces and a .919 reception percentage for the Cardinals last week.
The redshirt junior had never previously in her career earned Player of the Week honors. She joins junior middle hitter Hayley Benson as the only Ball State players to earn a weekly league award this season.
Ball State opens MAC play this weekend with a match at 7 p.m. Friday at Western Michigan and an 8 p.m. Saturday match at Northern Illinois.
