Chloe Hanel of Wayne State College was named Monday afternoon as the Northern Sun Conference Volleyball Offensive Player of the Week following her performances last week in three Wildcat matches.  It's the second NSIC Player of the Week honor this season for Hanel after being named NSIC Defensive Player of the Week on October 5^th. 
            A 6-0 junior middle hitter from Clarkson (Clarkson-Leigh HS), Hanel averaged 3.73 kills, 4.14 points and 0.73 blocks per set while recording a stellar .420 hitting percentage.  She posted 18 kills and four blocks with a .630 hitting percentage in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Minnesota State and accounted for 12 kills hitting .393 in Friday's 3-1 win over #13 St. Cloud State.  Hanel also had 10 kills last Tuesday vs. #15 Southwest Minnesota State.
            For the season, Hanel is averaging 2.99 kills and 1.05 blocks per set for the Wildcats.  She leads the NSIC in solo blocks (24), ranks fifth in blocks and hitting percentage (.375) and is seventh in points per set (3.84). 
            Wayne State, ranked second in last week's AVCA/TARAFLEX Division II Top 25 Coaches Poll, is 26-2 on the season and leads the NSIC with a 17-1 league mark heading into this weekend's road trip at #9 Concordia-St. Paul Friday at 6 p.m. and Winona State for a 4 p.m. contest.
