SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Northwestern senior outside hitter Stella Winterfeld has been named the GPAC Attacker of the Week, presented by Hauff/Mid-America Sports.
“What a great week for our team last week with earning the conference title and getting a quarterfinal win,” head coach Kyle Van Den Bosch said. “Stella had a special week by tying the school record for kills in a match at 33. This is a well-deserved honor for Stella.”
Winterfeld tied the program record for kills in a single match with 33 in Northwestern’s five-set win at Dordt on Tuesday before posting 15 kills in a sweep of College of Saint Mary in the GPAC Quarterfinals. She averaged 6.00 kills per set over two matches and hit at an efficient .343 clip. Additionally, Winterfeld had 21 digs and three blocks on the week.
Winterfeld leads the GPAC in kills per set (4.98) and in total kills (458). She has been named the GPAC Attacker of the Week six times this season.
Northwestern is set to host Dordt in tomorrow’s GPAC Semifinals. First serve is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
