March 22, 2021 | Volleyball
Cleveland, Ohio - The Mid-American Conference announced Monday (March 22) the MAC Honors for volleyball for the past week of competition. Of those named, Bowling Green's Yelianiz Torres earned the MAC East Defensive Player of the Week honor, being her first time receiving the recognition over her collegiate career and the second Falcon this season.Â
Torres paced the Falcons in digs over the weekend sweep of Akron, logging career-highs in digs in both matches. In the first match, Torres made the switch to libero for the Falcons in the third set, totaling 29 digs over the five sets for her first career 20+ dig match, also a new career-high, in addition to two kills, three assists and an ace. Torres followed that up in the second match, being the libero for the entirety of the four sets, with 30 digs, being another new career-high, as well as another assist.
The Orange and Brown will return to action this coming week with three matches to conclude the regular season. The week will begin on Tuesday (March 23) with the second match in the Battle of I-75, taking place at the Stroh Center and set for a 6 p.m. start. From there, the Falcons will take to the road, facing Buffalo on Friday and Saturday (March 26 & 27).Â
