Grand Canyon's Trent Bruns selected MIVA Defensive Player of the Week

Grand Canyon University freshman libero Trent Bruns (Mission Viejo, Calif./Mission Viejo) has been named the MIVA Defensive Player of the Week for his play last week.

At the Daytona 100 in Daytona Beach, Fla., Bruns averaged 4.64 digs per game in the four victories for the Antelopes.

Bruns is the first-ever recipient from GCU, which joined the MIVA this summer to play in the league that has gained national prominence with the likes of Ohio State, Ball State, Loyola-Chicago, Lewis, IPFW and Quincy.

"It's a good start," said Bruns. "It was a team effort, when everyone does their job it makes my job easier."

The Californian had a .967 serve reception percentage and had 65 total digs to help GCU go 4-0 on the weekend.
