The United Volleyball Conference announced its weekly honors Monday with All-American senior setter
Matthew Grace named as the Player of the Week.
Grace helped the State University of New York at New Paltz to their third- and fourth-straight sweep Saturday after defeating Nazareth College in both matches, 3-0. Grace was the catalyst offensively, helping the Hawks hit .297 and .281, respectively. The Holbrook, NY native finished with a combined 55 assists in six sets of action Saturday and made sure to spread the wealth around. Six different players registered a kill on the day with the help of Grace and five players finished with five or more kills in either contest.
Additionally, Grace added three kills, two blocks and six digs against the Golden Flyers.
