Kunde Named
Pointers� First Volleyball Player of the Week Since 2000
It was a milestone weekend for the UW-Stevens
Point volleyball team and the Pointers reached another as sophomore
Callie Kunde was named the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
player of the week.
Kunde, a setter and right-side hitter from Apple Valley, Minn., had a
triple-double in the Pointers� five-game win over UW-Stout on Friday and
nearly had another in Saturday�s triumph over UW-River Falls. She had 18
kills, 36 assists and 15 digs in the win over UW-Stout and followed with
nine kills, 26 assists and 14 digs against UW-River Falls.
Kunde is the first UW-Stevens Point player to
earn the conference�s weekly honor since Chrissy Klipstine on Oct. 3,
2000. Prior to Kunde�s selection, the Pointers went 54 consecutive weeks
without winning the league award.
UW-Stevens Point is 12-6 overall and 2-0 in
the WIAC for the first time since 1998. The Pointers� win over UW-River
Falls was their first in the series since 1994 and their first over the
Falcons in a league match since 1988.
The Pointers will host a pair of
non-conference matches on Wednesday, taking on Beloit at 4 p.m. and
Lawrence at 8 p.m. at Berg Gym. |
