Macke Named MVC Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week

Ankeny native collects her first weekly honor of the season.

Drake University junior and Ankeny, Iowa, native Kylee Macke has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced Monday, Sept. 9.

The libero helped Drake to two wins over the weekend at the Drake Invitational and was the Bulldogs' top defender on the weekend.

She led Drake with 56 digs in three matches and 12 sets to average 4.67 digs per set. Her defensive efforts held Drake's opponents to just .175 percent hitting and led Drake in digs in all three matches including 28 digs in the five-set loss to Milwaukee.

Her final dig of the weekend, in a 3-1 win over Saint Louis, moved her into sole possession of sixth in career digs at Drake with 1,171.

Macke and the Bulldogs return to action Tuesday evening for a single non-conference match at Western Illinois at 6 p.m. The Bulldogs close the week by taking on two ranked opponents at the Bluejay Classic in Omaha, Neb.
