Volleyball Player of the Week: Elayna Zuidema
Zuidema makes her mark setting for the Vikings.
Vicksburg product Elayna Zuidema has been named the Sturgis Bank Volleyball Player of the Week after standout performances for the Vikings. The freshman was recognized by the Glen Oaks coaching staff for not only her productivity in matches against Kellogg and Kalamazoo Valley, but for her willingness to adjust on the fly earlier this season.
"Elayna stepped up for us this year and took on a huge challenge," GOCC head coach Tracy Sterling said about the freshman. "While she was recruted as a RS/OPP hitter, early in the season the team needed to fill a void, and she stepped up and became one of the team's setters.
"She has worked very hard at improving her skills as a setter."
Zuidema recorded 22 assists with three blocks, two kills and a dig last week.
"With a year of experience under her belt, we are excited to see what she will achieve next season," Sterling said.
