AWARDS
I think they might want to call the Setter award in the North Central Conference the Gangelhoff award as UM Duluth setter Katie Gangelhoff won it for the fourth time in a row for last week. She did have to share with the honor with Sierra Novak of St. Cloud State. Gangelhoff's teammate Vicky Braegelmann also picked up an offensive award her third honor this year. St. Cloud State's Kristi Pangrac shared the honor with Braegelmann. Blythe Johnson of Augustana did not share the defensive award.

Wayne State took top awards this week in the Northern Sun. Emily Schroeder (offense) and Laura Dolezal and Brittany Coleman (setter) all won the big three awards. Maggie McNamara, Concordia St. Paul (setter) was the only non Wayne Stater to crack the lineup sharing the setting award with Coleman.

In the MIAC Becca Shane of Concordia Moorhead took the offensive award and Janet Sully for St. Olaf won the defensive award.
