An SIU volleyball player won a Missouri Valley Conference weekly award for the first time since 2002 Monday.
Jennifer Berwanger, a redshirt freshman outside hitter, was named MVC Freshman of the Week after recording 14 kills, 12 digs and a .520 hitting percentage in the SIU volleyball team's sweep of the University of Evansville on Friday.
"It is definitely an accomplishment for me, because I've been working really hard trying to come back from the injury," said Berwanger, who tore her MCL early last season.
SIU's all-time leader in digs, Kristie Kremner, was the last Saluki to win an MVC weekly award, after being named the MVC Player of the Week on Oct. 7, 2002.
