Latest Women's Volleyball Weekly Honors Go To USF's Teske, ONU's Sanif, Fredin

CHICAGO --- The latest round of Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference women's volleyball weekly honorees hail from Olivet Nazarene University in Sabrina Sanif (Milan, Italy) and Analiese Fredin (McBain, Mich.) and from University of St. Francis in Alyssa Teske (Mokena, Ill.).  The league made the announcement on Tuesday.

Teske earned CCAC Attacker of the Week recognition after totaling 28 kills over her seven sets played (4.0 avg.) with a .276 hitting percentage.  In splitting time as a right-side attacker and setter in the two matches played by the Saints last week, the sophomore also recorded 26 assists (3.7 avg.) , 21 digs (3.0 avg.) and four blocks.

Teske authored a triple-double in a four-set victory against Indiana University South Bend last Tuesday with 15 kills, 15 assists and 13 digs.  She followed that up with another 13 kills and 11 assists in a straight-set decision over Calumet College of St. Joseph on Thursday.

With the two wins, St. Francis moved to 3-2 in conference play and 6-9 overall.

A 1.17 blocks-per-set average sparked Sanif to CCAC Defender of the Week accord.  The junior middle hitter registered 14 blocks all told for the week with six being solo and the other eight assisted.  She also averaged 2.0 kills per set and attacked at a .286 clip.

Sanif collected six blocks and ten kills in a four-set loss to Saint Xavier University last Tuesday before totaling nine kills and three blocks in a five-set loss at the hands of Judson University on Thursday.  She closed out the week hitting at a .364 rate with five kills against only one error in 11 chances and notching five blocks in a three-set win versus Emmaus University (Iowa) on Saturday.

Fredin capped off the honor roll with her CCAC Setter of the Week recognition.  She averaged 7.33 assists, 1.83 digs and 1.0 aces per set over the Tigers' three matches to go along with 13 kills.

The junior opened the week with a double-double of 38 assists and 16 digs in the four-set loss to Saint Xavier.  She had another 36 assists, five aces, four kills and three digs against Judson. 

Fredin then ended the week with 14 assists and the same number of aces, kills and digs as the Judson match in the win over Emmaus.

Olivet Nazarene moved to 2-3 in the CCAC and 3-14 overall with its 1-2 week.
