The senior co-captain recorded his 1000th career kill this past weekend
COLUMBUS,
Ohio – Senior co-captain Shawn Sangrey , a member of the No. 10 Ohio
State men’s volleyball team, was named Offensive Player of Week by the
Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, the league announced
Monday. The honor is the first of the season for Sangrey and the ninth
of his career. The opposite from Columbia, Pa., led the
Buckeyes to a 3-0 record last week, blasting 48 kills for a 4.36
kills-per-set average. He also hit for a .292 (48-17-106) attack
percentage, including a .611 (12-1-18) rate of success in two sets
versus Sacred Heart last Tuesday. That mark is the highest hitting mark
for a Buckeye this season. In the team’s 3-1 win over St.
Francis Sunday, Sangrey reached a major milestone in his career as a
Buckeye. Entering the match with 998 career kills, he nabbed his 1000th
in the first set and concluded the match with 1,014 career kills,
ranking 13th all-time in Ohio State history. Sangrey
totaled 20 kills in Ohio State’s five-set win over George Mason
Thursday, notching the highest total in a MIVA match last week and the
second time this season he has posted 20-or-more kills in a match. He
also hit .292 (20-6-48) in the contest. Defensively,
Sangrey led the Buckeyes in digs with 26 over 11 sets played for a 2.36
digs-per-set average. His 14-dig performance against St. Francis was
the most recorded by a Buckeye this season and tied as the top
performance in the league last week. Sangrey currently leads the MIVA with a 4.17 kills-per-set average, while ranking sixth in digs per set at 1.72. 2012 MIVA Player of the Week Awards Shawn Sangrey – Offensive (Jan. 23)
