Defensively, Keanu Bradley leads the conference with 217 digs on the year and is averaging 5.17 digs per set.  The libero was named MIAA Athlete of the Week on Sept. 13, and has five 20-plus dig performances on the year. 
 
Washburn is led by the reigning MIAA Athlete of the Week Marissa Cox, who has 139 kills (4.09 per set) in 11 matches played.  Leanna Willer's 99 kills are second-best for the Ichabods, adding to her team-leading 15 service aces.  Defensively, Alyssa Carney had 156 digs for the year and Mattie-Ann Swenson leads the team with 36 blocks (five solo).
