Shawn Sangrey

   Shawn Sangrey, a senior opposite for 10th-ranked Ohio State (5-3), has been named the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Offensive Player of the Week.

   Sangrey led the Buckeyes to a 3-0 record last week by blasting 48 kills for a 4.36 kills-per-set average. He also hit for a .292 (48-17-106) attack percentage, including a .611 (12-1-18) rate of success in two sets versus Sacred Heart last Tuesday which is the highest hitting mark for a Buckeye this season.

   In the team’s 3-1 win over St. Francis Sunday, Sangrey reached a major milestone in his career as a Buckeye. Entering the match with 998 career kills, he nabbed his 1000th in the first set and concluded the match with 1,014 career kills. That mark ranks 13th all-time in Ohio State history.

   In the Buckeye’s five-set win over George Mason Thursday, Sangrey blasted 20 kills which was the highest total in a MIVA match last week and the second time this season he has posted 20-or-more kills in a match. He also hit .292 (20-6-48) in the contest.

   Defensively, Sangrey led the Buckeyes in digs with 26 over 11 sets played for a 2.36 digs-per-set average. His 14-dig performance against St. Francis was the most recorded by a Buckeye this season and tied as the top performance in the league last week.

   Sangrey currently leads the MIVA with a 4.17 kills-per-set average, while ranking sixth in digs per set at 1.72.
