SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Two Yellowjackets were featured in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) weekly awards for the week of Oct. 21-27, the league announced Tuesday.
 
Freshman Makenna Hohbein (Holdingford, Minn./Holdingford) and senior Jenna Anderson (Bemidji, Minn./Bemidji) of the Yellowjacket volleyball team claimed the circuit's offensive and defensive player of the week honors.
 
Collecting 63 digs in three matches last week, Anderson spearheaded the Yellowjacket defense once again. She scooped 23 against Northland on the road, while posting 15 digs against North Central before finishing her day with 25 against Northwestern, leading the Yellowjackets past all three UMAC opponents. 
 
Hohbein posted another strong week for the Yellowjackets. The freshman outside hitter collected 37 total kills in three UMAC matches. Most notably she finished the match against North Central with a .778 attack percentage, grabbing 14 kills off 18 attack attempts.
 
The Yellowjackets claimed a postseason birth after picking up victories against North Central and No. 18 Northwestern last Saturday. UWS is back in action Friday, traveling to James Gremmels Court to face Minnesota Morris. The opening serve is scheduled for 7 p.m.
