BUFFALO, NY - Junior Megan Lipski has been named the MAC East Offensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday afternoon.

Lipski led the Bulls to a 1-1 weekend with a victory on the road Thursday night at Akron, before a close four-set loss on Saturday against Ball State. Over the two matches, Lipski hit .442 from her outside hitter position. She led the Bulls with 13 kills in each match, while recording just one and two errors in the two matches, respectively.

Lipski also did it on the defensive end for the Bulls as she finished with 28 digs over the two matches, including a career-high 19 digs in the four-set loss to Ball State.
