ST. LOUIS --- UNI outside hitter Kira Fallert has been named the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Offensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Tuesday afternoon.
Fallert, a junior hailing from Maplewood, Minnesota picks up the first weekly conference award of her career after a breakout weekend for the Panthers at Creighton's Bluejay Invitational over the weekend. Selected to the All-Tournament team during UNI's run in Omaha, she posted 41 kills and dished out four service aces in helping the Panthers secure victories over LSU and Ball State, both NCAA Tournament teams from a season ago.
