UJ – Ellie Holen of the Jimmie women’s volleyball team has been named this week’s GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Volleyball Defender of the Week.

Holen averaged just shy of 10 digs per set as the 12th-ranked Jimmies split a pair of matches last week.  She had 32 digs and five assists in a four-set win over No. 9 College of Saint Mary (Neb.), while earlier in the week she posted 37 digs in a loss to (RV) Valley City State (N.D.).

Jamestown (17-7 overall, 10-1 GPAC) is on the road Friday at Briar Cliff (Iowa) and Saturday at Dordt (Iowa).
