Fort Wayne, Ind. – Indiana Tech’s Kelsea Nova (Toledo, OH/Bowsher) led the Warriors to a pair of conference victories last week, and for her efforts has been named the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Volleyball Player of the Week.

The senior outside hitter from Toledo, Ohio recorded her second double-double of the season in a convincing 3-0 win over Concordia University on Wednesday night. Nova picked up 10 digs and slammed down 10 kills on 15 swings for an impressive .667 hitting percentage. As a team, the Warriors hit .597 in the match, which is a new school single-match record and ranks 8th all-time in the NAIA.

On Friday night, Nova fell just one kill shy of another double-double, finishing with nine kills and a season-high 23 digs. She added two solo blocks in Tech’s 3-1 victory over Lourdes University.
