Kentucky swept the SEC POWs.
Hawai’i swept the Big West.
Duke did the same in the ACC.
New Hampshire took three of the four America East awards.
How about Bowling Green senior outside hitter Jelena Sunjic, who had 41 kills in 65 swings with no errors to be named the Mid-American East offensive POW?
Or Oral Roberts junior outside Laura Milos, who was the Summit League POW for the fifth time this year and 11th in her career after averaging nine kills per set last week?
That’s just a sampling of another week of big performances around NCAA Division I volleyball.
You can look forward every Tuesday to the VolleyballMag.com roundup of the POWs around the country.
