Dodge City volleyball has been playing strong, and last week saw two more victories chalked up in the win column, beating #18 Barton at home and Hutchinson on the road to improve to 23-5 on the season.
The Conquistadors had several strong performances individually last week in the wins, but the play of
Dora Csanyi and
Rian Muntaner stood out, earning them KJCCC Division I Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week honors. They join teammates
Kayla Cantrill and
Chelsea Durbridge who picked up Offensive and Setter Player of the Week honors early this season as Conqs who have picked up the recognition.
Csanyi capped last week in a career-best performance, recording 19 kills on a .424 hitting percentage while adding four blocks in road win over Hutchinson. She started her week tallying 10 kills on a .588 hitting percentage with no errors and five blocks against Barton. On the season, she has 146 kills and 88 blocks, while she ranks second in the KJCCC in hitting percentage at .382.
Muntaner recorded back-to-back outings with double-digit digs for the Conqs, starting with 14 digs from the libero spot against Barton at home, and then 13 digs, along with four assists and one ace in a road victory over Hutchinson. This season, Muntaner has a team-best 277 digs, averaging 2.89 per set, while adding 38 aces and 39 assists.
