MARLBOROUGH, Mass.— After helping the team extend its winning streak to three matches, Babson College senior
Hailey Fouche (Montclair, N.J.) was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Women's Volleyball Offensive Athlete of the Week on Monday morning.
Fouche totaled 18 kills and averaged 3.00 kills per set while hitting a blistering .615 as No. 23 Babson recorded a pair of three-set victories last week. The senior hitter had six kills to go along with three blocks in Tuesday's sweep of Salve Regina and followed it up with 12 kills and no errors in 14 swings for a .857 hitting percentage on Friday as the Beavers dominated Endicott.
An All-Region first team and All-America honorable mention last year, Fouche ranks third in the NEWMAC this season with 267 kills and seventh with 3.00 kills per set. She is also second on the team and seventh in the conference with a .308 hitting percentage, and tied with teammate
Ailsa Munro (Sylmar, Calif.) for the team lead and ranks fourth in the NEWMAC with 70 blocks on the season.
Babson (20-5, 8-1 NEWMAC) wraps up the regular season with a pair of conference matches this week, visiting Clark on Tuesday at 7 p.m. and hosting Springfield on Saturday at 3 p.m. inside Staake Gymnasium.
