Two in a Row: Hanna is NWC Player of the Week

Beth Hanna, Pacific Lutheran’s outstanding freshman hitter from Clackamas (Ore.) High School, has earned Northwest Conference Volleyball Player of the Week honors for the second straight week.

Hanna led the Lutes to road sweeps of Whitman and Whitworth last week. She collected 35 kills – including 20 against Whitworth – while hitting .356. She added 26 digs and seven aces.

Pacific Lutheran has won eight straight matches and 24 of 25 games during that stretch. The Lutes currently sit atop the Northwest Conference standings with a 6-0 record. They host 5-1 Linfield, with whom they shared the 2006 NWC championship, in a Friday night showdown of the top two teams in the conference standings.
