‘Eaters’ Wing lauded

UC Irvine senior outside hitter Kelly Wing has been named Big West

Conference Player of the Week in women’s volleyball for the second

time this season.

Wing, an All-American as a junior, led the Anteaters to a comeback

victory against Cal State Northridge Oct. 23. She collected 34 kills,

including three game-winners. She also had three aces.

After the Anteaters battled back from an 11-3 deficit in Game 5 to

tie the score at 13, Wing had three straight kills for a 16-14 win.

Over two matches, including a loss to University of the Pacific

Oct. 22, Wing averaged 6.6 kills per game and 2.6 digs.

Wing has received this honor seven times in her career, a total

matched by only two other players in conference annals.
