Siena Heights libero/defensive specialist Joudiel Poveymirow was named the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) men's volleyball defensive player of the week on Monday afternoon by the league office.
The junior transfer from Orlando, Florida had a fantastic week as he averaged 5.36 digs per set and tallied a total of 59 digs in three matches. The final match of the week saw Poveymirow record a career-high 31 digs against a ranked Goshen team that the Saints pushed to five sets on Friday night.
This is Joudiel's first WHAC weekly award of his career. It is also the first WHAC defensive player of the week honor for the SHU men's volleyball team this season.
The Saints travel to Tennessee this weekend for a tri-match against William Penn at 1:00 PM and Cumberland at 3:00 PM, EST.
