Ohio State's Shawn Sangrey Named the MIVA Offensive Player of the Week
Columbus, Ohio – Shawn Sangrey, a 6-5 sophomore opposite for the 11th-ranked Ohio State (18-7 overall, 10-1 Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association) men’s volleyball team, has been named the MIVA Offensive Player of the Week for the third time this season. Sangrey averaged 7.92 points, 7.00 kills, 1.17 digs and .50 blocks per game in 3-0 victories over then 11th-ranked Loyola-Chicago (30-26, 32-30, 30-24) and Lewis (32-30, 30-25, 30-21). Against Loyola-Chicago, Sangrey recorded a match-high 17 kills while hitting .314. He added one ace serve, five digs and three assist blocks. Sangrey was key in game two (32-30) scoring OSU’s last three points on kills. The Buckeyes win stopped the Ramblers undefeated streak (10 matches) in conference play and blocked their bid for the outright conference championship. In the Lewis match, he posted a match-high 25 kills while hitting .500. Sangrey added a match-high three ace serves and two digs in the contest. He had double-figure kills (10) in game two where he produced 12 (2 aces) of OSU’s 22 points in the game. The win over the Flyers moved Ohio State into a first-place tie with Loyola-Chicago with one match left for each team (Ball State at OSU Friday, Loyola-Chicago at Ball State Saturday).
Ohio State closes out the regular season with home matches against 15th-ranked Ball State (17-9, 6-4) Friday and St. Francis (12-13, 4-6 Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association) Saturday. Both matches will be played in St. John Arena. Admission is free.
