Kimberly Smisek '11 was named the American Volleyball Coaches Association Division III "Player of the Week" on Tuesday after she averaged 5.79 kills/set and hit .366 in the Oles' 5-0 week.

Smisek had at least 20 kills in each of the team's first three matches of the week, including a career-high 31 in a five-set win over Luther in Friday's second round of the IIAC-MIAC Border Battle. She leads the league in kills (4.93/set) by more than a kill/set (3.90 is second-best), and has helped the Oles (19-2, 3-1 MIAC) to their best start since the 2001 team also started 19-2.
