Bulldog Volleyball's Allyson Cappel Picked As GLIAC North Player Of The Week

Big Rapids, Mich. - Senior outside hitter Allyson Cappel (Tinley Park, Ill.) of the Ferris State University women's volleyball squad has been picked as the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) North Division Player of the Week.

Cappel led the 20th-ranked Bulldogs to a weekend home sweep in league action at the Ewigleben Sports Arena. She totaled 34 kills with 29 digs, two blocks and an ace while hitting .320 overall for the weekend as the Bulldogs topped Saginaw Valley State and Lake Superior State to stay near the top of the GLIAC race.

Cappel produced 26 kills and 22 digs with two blocks in Friday's 3-2 win over SVSU before adding eight kills and seven digs in only two sets of work as FSU swept LSSU on Saturday. She averaged 5.2 points per set along with 4.86 kills and 4.14 digs on the weekend.

With the two wins over the weekend, the Bulldogs are now only a half-match behind Michigan Tech in the GLIAC North Division race. FSU will visit Michigan Tech on Friday, Nov. 8, for a 5 p.m. (ET) league encounter in Houghton before facing Northern Michigan on Saturday, Nov. 9, starting at 4 p.m. (ET) in Marquette.
