September 30, 2013 | Volleyball
CLEVELAND, Ohio—Lindsey Butterfield and Kaitlyn Skinner, both seniors on the Bowling Green State University volleyball team, were named Mid-American Conference players of the week on Monday afternoon. Butterfield, who had 36 kills and 31 digs in two matches, was named the MAC East Offensive Player of the Week by the coaches. Skinner, who contributed 16 kills and 15 blocks, was named MAC East Co-Defensive Player of the Week.
Butterfield, a native of Springfield, Ohio, recorded two double-doubles this week to begin Mid-American Conference play, as the Falcons won both games to start 2-0. Butterfield recorded 36 kills and 31 digs on the week, as she led the Falcons with an attack percentage of .299. In Thursday night's five-set win at Miami, Butterfield led the offensive comeback with 25 kills and two blocks, while also adding 18 digs. In Saturday's three-set win, Butterfield registered her second straight double-double, this time with 11 kills and 13 digs. Butterfield averaged 4.50 kills/set and 3.89 digs/set for the Orange and Brown.
Skinner, a native of Cambridge, Ontario, continued to be a major threat at the net for the Falcons, as she played an integral role in the 2-0 start in MAC play. Skinner recorded 16 kills and 15 blocks in two matches, as she hit .379 on the week. In Thursday's five set win, Skinner set season-highs with eight kills and nine blocks against the RedHawks. In Saturday's three-set win over Northern Illinois, Skinner once again tied her season-high with eight kills. In the match, Skinner recorded her eight kills in just 10 attempts, compiling a hitting percentage of .800—her career high. She also added six blocks in the match, including the block on match point to seal the three-set win over NIU. Skinner contributed 10 digs on the week, capping off an impressive week.
Last week, the Falcons got off to a 2-0 start in Mid-American Conference play, defeating Miami and Northern Illinois. The 2-0 start marks the second consecutive season in which the Falcons started at least 2-0.
The award is the first for Butterfield in 2013, while Skinner earns the weekly award for the second time. The Orange and Brown will return to action on Friday night when they hit the road to play at Kent State. The Falcons will also face nationally-ranked Ohio on the road this weekend.
