November 18, 2019 | Volleyball
Cleveland, Ohio - The Mid-American Conference announced Monday afternoon (Nov. 18) the MAC Honors for volleyball for the past week of competition. Of those named, Bowling Green junior Katie Kidwell claimed the East Division recognition for MAC Offensive Player of the Week. This comes after the Falcons completed a 2-0 weekend, which consisted of two five-set wins coming against Miami and Northern Illinois. This marks the first time this season Kidwell has been named. She was previously named MAC Defensive Player of the Week once last season and twice as a freshman in 2017, but this is her first offensive recognition. Â
FULL MAC RELEASE
Kidwell rattled off 34 kills for the Falcons in wins over Miami and Northern Illinois. Registering 20 against the Huskies, Kidwell matched her career-high for kills while also maintaining a .545 hitting percentage. Not only did she hit .545 against NIU, but sustained a .429 hitting percentage the entirety of the weekend. Kidwell also chipped in seven blocks to increase her career totals to 326 block assists and 384 total blocks, both of which are in the top 10 all-time in program history for Bowling Green.Â
The Orange and Brown will return to action on Friday (Nov. 22) at 7 p.m. as they host the MAC Volleyball Tournament. The Falcons opponent will be decided on Thursday, as they will face the winner of the Akron, Buffalo match that will begin at 7 p.m.Â
