PORTLAND, Ore. --- Western Oregon volleyball's
Bailee Hartsook was named the GNAC Offensive Player of the Week by the conference on Monday after her strong performance at the Cougar Classic this past weekend in San Marcos, California.
The senior averaged 3.07 kills per set in helping the Wolves go 3-1 at the Cougar Classic in San Marcos, California. The senior averaged 3.29 points per set and finished with 43 kills and a hitting percentage of .338. Hartsook, who missed the season-opening tournament in Hawaii for the Wolves last week, after easing into the first match Friday against Azusa Pacific was a force the rest of the weekend - racking up 14 kills in three sets against Cal State Monterey Bay, 12 kills in a three-set win over Westmont and 16 kills in a five-set loss to San Marcos. She helped the Wolves start the season 7-0 before Saturday's loss - the best start for WOU since starting 9-0 in 1998.
WOU opens GNAC play and has its home opener 7 p.m. Thursday against Central Washington.
