UA volleyball looks to extend win streak to 10
University of Akron sophomore volleyball player Chelsea Harvey earned the the Mid-American Conference East Division Player of the Week.
Harvey, a Stow High School graduate, plays libero and helped the Zips (12-4, 4-0 MAC) extend their winning streak to nine consecutive games with wins against Ohio and Kent State this past week under coach Ron Arenz.
Junior Courtney Jarvis won MAC Player of the Week honors the previous two weeks after UA defeated Colgate, Cornell, Connecticut, Bowling Green and Miami (Ohio) during that span.
Senior Jackie Goleman and junior Tina Dimitrijevs are also key contributors with sophomores Morgan Kuhn and Paiton Twitty, and freshmen Alex Cocklin, Alex Wiederholt and Jill Paluch.
UA's first two wins to start the streak were against Indiana State and St. Francis (Pa.).
UA plays at Buffalo on Thursday and hosts Toledo on Saturday.
