Lumberjacks’ volleyball (9-0) did it again. Senior middle blocker Katie Bailey was named the Co-Big Sky volleyball player of the week. Bailey earned the co-player of the week title after assisting NAU to three more victories and being named the MVP of the Falcon Invitational, hosted by the Air Force Academy.
Throughout the tournament, Bailey accrued an average 1.33 blocks and 2.08 kills per set with a .262 hitting percentage. She set a team season record with nine blocks, two solo blocks against Air Force and had 16 total blocks throughout the tournament. Bailey accumulated 25 kills in 65 attacks putting up 36.5 points for the Jacks.
Bailey is currently ranked third in the Big Sky for blocks per set (1.09) and hitting percentage (.278). In nine matches, Bailey has put down 70 kills in 176 total attacks, which has resulted in 96 points for the ladies this season. Bailey joins junior setter Kelli Dallmann (week of Aug. 29 – Sept. 2) and senior outside hitter Kobi Christensen (week of Sept. 5 – 9) as Big Sky players of the week.
The Lumberjacks look to stay undefeated as they begin Big Sky conference play this weekend with home games against Montana State (Sept. 15) and Montana (Sept. 17).
