Oct 2, 2014
Grand Valley State University senior volleyball player Kaitlyn Wolters earned GLIAC North Division Player of the Week honors on Monday afternoon.
Wolters, a setter, recorded GVSU’s first triple-double since 1997 against Ferris State University last week. She posted 34 assists, 12 digs and 11 kills without committing an error. In addition, Wolters averaged 7.30 assists, 2.40 digs and 1.90 kills per set as part of a 3-0 week for the Lakers. Although Wolters is barely into her second season as a Laker, she is ninth in school history with 1,633 assists.
Meanwhile, freshman forward Gabriella Mencotti continues to impress for the GVSU soccer team.
Mencotti was named GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week following a strong showing for the Lakers over the weekend. The Novi, Mich. native collected three goals, one assist and seven points as GVSU steamrolled Lake Erie College and Findlay University by scores of 3-1 and 6-0, respectively. She scored two goals at Lake Erie, including the game-winner, and added three more points at Findlay. She ranks second in points and goals and is third in assists among all GLIAC players.
