Emily Buehler, Junior Opposite, University of St. Thomas, Mazeppa, MN (Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School). Gene McGivern, SID. To often in team athletics, fans do not see the "big picture." Regarding the success of UST Volleyball, this is very much the case. Emily Buehler is a necessary impact player that delivers time and time again. This past week is, fortunately for the Tommies, a "typical" week. In four matches including another crucial MIAC road contest, Emily put down 81 kills (5.8 KPG) while hitting .452 for the week. In addition, her contributions included 48 digs (3.4 DPG), 7 service aces (.50 SAPG) and 10 total blocks (.71 BPG) leading the Tommies to a 4-0 record for the week, and winning UST's third Tournament Championship this fall. Facing the challenge of learning a new position due to injuries earlier in the season, Emily Buehler had another outstanding week. Thanks.

Jane Gibbs, Junior Setter, University of St. Thomas, Lakeville High School (MN). Eugene McGivern, SID. Having competed against over fifteen teams that were nationally and/or regionally ranked, Jane Gibbs remains one of the best setters in the country. This past weekend, Gibbs lead the Tommies to a 4-0 record, the team's third outright tournament championship, a huge MIAC road match victory,and was named to her 4th All Tournament team this season. Her numbers included 225 Assists (16 APG), 49 digs (3.5 DPG), 6 service aces (.43 SAPG), and most importantly, runs an offense where the team hit over .300 for the week. There is no greater endorsement for a team's setter than the success of her teammates. Thanks.

Katherine Reynolds, Senior Outside Hitter, University of St. Thomas, Eugene McGivern, SID. 24 hours before Wednesday's MIAC match, St. Thomas lost two starters and almost 40% of it offense to injuries. Not uncommon to any conference program, it does require people to "step up." Katie Reynolds did this again against some of the best players and teams in the nation. In SIX matches for the week, Katie put down 115 kills (5.47 KPG), had over 100 digs (4.76), 13 total blocks (.62 BPG), and 7 service aces. Against top ten teams, she had 22 kills & 27 digs while hitting .360 vs. Emory and 16 kills and 24 digs against Mt. St. Joseph (hitting .314). In a marathon match vs. Central, the numbers were even better 25 kills (.370 ATK%) and 28 digs with two service aces. With a weekend that included 3-0 wins against regionally rnaked opponents Springfield (MA) and SUNY-Oneonta, St. Thomas needed to make adjustments to finish the regular season. Against ranked teams and a slew of All Amercans, Katie Reynolds again showed she is one of the best players winning All Tournament for the 4th time this season. Reynolds has now gone over 1700 kills and 1500 digs for her career.

Jane Gibbs, Junior Setter, Lakeville (MN), University of St. Thomas, Eugene McGivern, SID. Jane Gibbs was again charged with leading St. Thomas through another challenge.

For the week, Gibbs put up 239 assists or 12.83 APG, 72 digs (4.0 digs per game), and 13 blocks (.72 BPG) to help the "Tommies" new line up prevail through the current challenges. In the an eight team tournament that included several all american candidates, Gibbs continued to get attention from other coaches who suddenly became "fans." With 4000 career asssits only on the horizon, Jane Gibbs will continue to work hard to become one of the nation's best players. 18GP 239A 12.83APG 3SA 72D 4.0DPG 13BA .72BPG

For the week Kristin recorded 106 digs for an average of 5.05 digs/game while only recording 2 reception errors in five matches. This included a 25 dig performance versus OshKosh and a 24 dig performance versus St. Ben's. Kristin is a primary passer in all six rotations. As there are not many statistical categories for a libero to be evaluated, one anecdotal piece of support for Kristin was that the coach from UW-OshKosh said that their only serving call for our whole match was to "NOT serve Bethel's libero!"

Kristin Pins, Junior Middle Blocker, University of St. Thomas, Dubuque Senior H.S. (IA). Eugene McGivern, SID. With an all america candidate playing, it takes volleyball insight to appreciate the numbers a middle blocker puts up to enhance the success of their team. Kristin Pins has done this work for three seasons with little recognition and some of the most consistent stats I have ever seen. This past weekend may demonstrate what I am talking about. The number one blocking middle in the MIAC goes down the day before a road match against Concordia, Kristin hits .364 with no errors and has three blocks. For the three MIAC matches won this past week, she hits .407ATK% with 4 errors in 54 swings. Before the libero comes on the court, she contributes also 7 SA (.70 SAPG). Her blocking totals were 13 or 1.3 BPG. Kristin Pins is a big reason UST is 15-1 for the season. Thanks, CVT.

4K, 1E, 8Attempts (.375); 30 assists (10 apg); 1 ace, 0 errors; 7 digs (2.33 dpg); and led her team to a team hitting percentage of .324 versus Carleton. Katie's assist numbers would be higher, but we played a 6-2 for the whole second game, and our second setter had 7 assists that game. Our hitting percentage of .324 is the most notable stat for Katie, as we had been hitting under .200 as a team coming into the match against Carleton who is a very good blocking team. She did a great job distrbuting the ball to all of our hitters - getting 4 hitters over 15 attempts and no one hitter over 30 attempts. Gretchen Hansen

Jane Gibbs, 5-10 FR Setter, University of St. Thomas, Lakeville High School (MN). Gene McGivern-SID. Hopefully, this weekly nomination has not become anything but what it is, recognition for one of the outstanding setters in the MIAC. Jane Gibbs again lead St. Thomas through a productive week. Included in this weeks wins were 3-1 road victories over nationally ranked St. Olaf #9 and pre season ranked #9 St. Ben's. For the week, Jane accumulated 14 assists per game against St. Olaf, 12.75 vs. St. Ben's and or 12.18 for the week. In addition, she had 5 service aces and 7 total blocks. In a "rebuilding" year, Jane Gibbs has helped St. Thomas defeat three current or previously ranked opponents, accumulate 19 wins, and be among the nation's leaders in several team/individual offensive categories. Though still learning, this Head Coach would not trade Ms. Gibbs for any setter we have faced so far.
