Welk Earns Back-to-back Player of the Week Honors

Dominican University senior Mary Welk (Chicago/Resurrection) is capping off a tremendous career at Dominican. Two weeks into the 2003 volleyball season, Welk has earned her second straight Northern Illinois-Iowa Conference (NIIC) player of the week award.

In three games at Dominican University’s 2003 Star Classic last Saturday, Welk racked up an impressive 61 kills, 95 digs, and 7 service aces in 11 games. Welk’s efforts in the tournament earned her the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award as well as keeping the Stars’ record unblemished at 6-0 with two tournament championships in two weeks.

On the year, Welk has notched 115 kills, pushing her career total to 1,469. Welk is also well on her way to 2,000 digs in her career. In the previous three seasons, Welk recorded 1,874 digs. In just six matches in 2003, Welk has compiled 172 digs.

Welk and the Dominican Stars open up conference play on Tuesday, September 9, as they travel to Rockford College for a 7:00 p.m. match.
