Sophomore Jenna Grasmeyer Honored With National Award

Hope sophomore outside hitter Jenna Grasmeyer has been named the
Sports Imports/American Volleyball Coaches Association Division III
National Player of the Week. She earlier was named the MIAA's Position
Player of the Week.

Hope had a tremendous week going a perfect 5-0 with wins over two AVCA
nationally ranked teams. Grasmeyer started the week off on a
tremendous note by tallying 21 kills (tied school record for kills in
a three-set match), hitting at a .704 clip over Kalamazoo, but after
that match she went on to record four consecutive double-doubles.
After sweeping Wisconsin Lutheran and No. 17 UW-Whitewater, she tied a
school record for kills in a five-set match with 28 over No. 9
Elmhurst, adding another 13 digs. Hope then took care of Dominican,
giving Grasmeyer 4.6 kills and 2.9 digs per set while hitting .314 for
the entire week.

This is the second time a Hope athlete has earned National Player of
the Week recognition, with the other award presented to Jacie Fiedler
in October, 2010.
