MIDDLETOWN, Conn. - Senior outside hitter Sophia Lindus '26 of the Wesleyan volleyball team earned NESCAC Player of the Week honors, as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon. This is the third career Player of the Week honor for Lindus. 

The two-time NESCAC Player of the Year is rounding into form as the year has gone on, as Lindus helped the Cardinals sweep Williams and Middlebury at home to improve to 8-0 in NESCAC play. Lindus totaled 31 kills across three sets, averaging 5.17 kills per set, with just four attack errors on 64 swings for a .422 attack percentage. The senior added 20 digs, averaging 3.33 per set, and four blocks to her totals for the week. Lindus opened with 14 kills and one error on 29 attempts, hitting .448, to go along with five digs and three blocks in a convincing sweep of Williams. The outside hitter followed up with season-high totals in kills (17) and digs (15) against Middlebury, finishing with 16 kills across the final two sets combined.

The Cardinals (16-1, 8-0 NESCAC) are winners of eight straight matches and head into non-conference showdowns with Smith and Coast Guard at home this weekend.
