WKU volleyball ranked No. 24, two players collect C-USA weekly honors

The WKU volleyball team (19-1, 5-0 C-USA) accumulated several honors on Monday afternoon, as the Lady Toppers were ranked No. 24 in the AVCA Division I Coaches Poll after receiving votes for four weeks and two key contributors received weekly awards from Conference USA.

Sophomore Lauren Matthews was named Co-Offensive Player of the Week for the third time this season, while junior Logan Kael earned Defensive Player of the Week recognition for the first time.

No. 24 WKU earned both individual and team accolades after the Lady Toppers set a new record for the best start in program history by defeating Florida Atlantic (9-7, 3-2 C-USA) and Florida International (9-7, 2-3 C-USA) on the road over the weekend.
