Park University's Wendy Romero earned her second straight Attacker of the Week honor after a stellar performance at the Columbia College Hampton Inn Classic. Missouri Baptist University's Megan Huffman earned the first AMC Setter of the Week honor of her career, and Madisson Williams of Lyon College earned the nod as the Defender of the Week.

 Romero, a 6-0 senior outside hitter from Cojedes, Venezuela, bettered her average of kills per set from last week, belting 5.93 scoring shots per set in four matches at the Hampton Inn Classic. The highlight of her weekend came in the Pirates' final match at the tournament. In the match, Park rallied to defeat the NAIA #14 Lourdes University Gray Wolves in four sets. In the match, Romero pounded 35 kills and had 13 digs, as the Pirates completed the weekend with a 3-1 record. She hit .318 on the week as well.

 Huffman, a 5-10 freshman from Columbia, Ill., settled into the starting setter role for the Spartans, playing in four of the five matches for Missouri Baptist on the week. She averaged 11.4 assists per set in the Hampton Inn Classic, and 10.9 per set on the week overall, as the Spartans posted a 3-2 record on the week. Her two best performances in the Classic came against the #4 Viterbo (Wis.) V-Hawks and the #14 Gray Wolves, when she had 42 and 45 assists, respectively.

 Williams, a 5-2 sophomore libero from Royal, Ark., picked up 96 digs on the week at an average of 6.86 per set. She put up a career best 39 digs against Jarvis Christian (Texas), and she posted at least 20 digs in three of the Scots four matches at the Philander Smith College Tournament over the weekend. The Scots won all four of their matches, winning 12 of the 14 sets they played in the event.
