Spencer Earns Ninth Career POW Honor...
Emily Spencer was named The Summit League's Volleyball Offensive Player of the Week for her performances Oct. 27-Nov. 2.

Spencer captures her ninth career Offensive Player of the Week award and second of the season after averaging more kills and points per set than the NCAA leader last week. The senior outside hitter opened the weekend with 23 kills and a .300 hitting percentage in the four-set loss to then league-leader South Dakota. She topped that performance in Sunday's sweep over Oral Roberts with 24 kills and only two errors in 27 attempts for a .468 clip. Her 24 kills tied the school record for kills in a three-set match. The Jenison, Michigan, native also extended her school-record to 48 consecutive matches with double-digit kills. On the week, Spencer averaged 6.71 kills per set, 0.67 more than the NCAA leader, and 7.21 points per set, 0.54 better than the NCAA leader. She tallied a .374 hitting percentage with 47 kills, 17 digs, three blocks, two service aces and one assist.

Spencer Keeps going...and going...and going...
Emily Spencer has run her consecutive matches in double-digit kills to 48, a program record. Spencer's streak began on Sept. 17, 2013 against Eastern Michigan. She eclipsed former Mastodon Fabiana Souza's mark of 26 straight from Nov. 15, 2002 through Oct. 18, 2003. Spencer also had a streak of 24 matches to begin her career during the 2011 season. She also previously had a 23 consecutive match streak from Sept. 18, 2012 through Sept. 4, 2013.
