WHITEWATER — Brodhead graduate and UW-Whitewater senior Abbie Dix was named the WIAC Kwik Trip Offensive Volleyball Player of the Week for last week. It’s her second Player of the Week this season.

A middle hitter, Dix had a strong week at the net offensively and defensively. Leading the Warhawks to a 3-1 record during the week, she hit .457 averaging 3.77 kills per set, while registering 17 blocks — an average of 1.31 blocks per set. Dix hammered down 19 kills, while hitting .444 and tallied four blocks in UW-Whitewater’s four-set win over UW-River Falls on Oct. 16. She capped the week with two more double-digit kill matches, while tallying six blocks against Augsburg University (Minn.) and three against Hamline University (Minn.) in the pair of sweeps.

On the season, Dix has recorded 201 kills, four assists and two aces for 258 points. She has added 28 digs to go with 76 assisted blocks and 17 solo blocks. In her career at UWW, Dix has 866 kills, 13 aces, 136 digs and 530 blocks — including 76 solo.

UW-Whitewater is 11-8 overall this season and 3-2 in WIAC play. The Warhawks host the Dig Panici Classic this weekend (Oct. 23-24), with matches against North Central College, Gustavus Adolphus College, and the University of Dubuque. The regular season will come to a close on Nov. 6 at UW-Oshkosh.
