Last Week's Top Performers
Sydney Kemper, NAU - Kemper was named the Tournament MVP of the Lumberjack Classic, leading the Lumberjacks to a third consecutive per-fect weekend to begin the 2014 season.

She averaged 3.60 kills, 3.00 digs and 1.40 blocks per set and com-piled a .315 hit percentage as the Lumberjacks improved to 9-0 for just the third time in school history – and remains the lone unbeaten team in the Big Sky. She also picked up her third All-Tournament honor in as many tourna-ments this season.
Michelle Robinson, Montana - Robinson was named to her third all-tourna-ment team in three weekends at the West Virginia Mountaineer Invitational. In four matches last week, Robinson averaged a team-high 2.67 kills on .237 hitting. She also added a team-high four service aces and 13 blocks (0.87/s).
