Last week, Scottie Ingram was named Offensive Player of the Week and Sam Bedard was awarded Setter of the Week. It is the first time since 2003 an MSU student-athlete has been award OVC Offensive Player of the Week when Paige Sun accomplished the feat in back-to-back weeks.
Lelm, a sophomore from Mackinaw, Ill., had an impressive week both in volume and efficiency.

Lelm followed up her career night with back-to-back 13 kill performances against High Point and North Carolina A&T.
