Stasa Stamenkovic of the 12th ranked Barton Community College volleyball team has been selected as the Week Seven KJCCC Division I Volleyball Offensive Player of the Week.
Last week, Stamenkovic led the Cougars to a pair of conference victories — first in a straight-set win at Cloud County, followed by Saturday's five-set home victory over Hutchinson.
The freshman outside hitter averaged 4.63 kills per set, compiling 37 kills on .299 hitting across eight sets while adding 19 digs and a pair of service aces. She opened the week with 10 kills on .318 hitting in the road sweep at Cloud County before delivering a career-best 27 kills on .292 hitting with 12 digs against Hutchinson.
Most recently, in last night's sweep of Seward County, Stamenkovic once again led the offense with 13 kills on a .360 clip while adding 14 digs for her 12th double-double of the season.
The honor is Stamenkovic's second of the season, following her Week Four distinction, and marks the Cougars' ninth conference award of the year. She joins Mina Kaneko's four weekly honors (Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 6) — including Kaneko's Week Six national award — along with Ori Briger's Week Two recognition and Week Three selections for Aubrey Olander and Indigo Pruitt.
Now 8–1 in conference play and 21–5 overall, Barton continues its homestand Saturday with a 6:00 p.m. first serve against Dodge City Community College.
