KJCCC Kansas MTXE D1 Volleyball Athletes of the Week, Week 7, 2017

Since being inserted this past week as the starting Libero in the Barton lineup, Ilona Boniface has been targeted and delivered in helping anchor the back line in the Cougars' two victories.  Setting a collegiate high seventeen digs in Monday's short victory over Pratt Community College, Boniface was spectacular in Wednesday's upset at No. 19 Colby Community College resetting her career best to twenty-eight digs to average 6.42 per set for the week. 

Laine Conceicao continued her hot streak powering Barton to consecutive wins last week including a four set upset victory at No. 19 Colby Community College.  Hitting for a .350 attack with ten kills in three short sets versus Pratt Community College, Conceicao struck for a .343 attack putting down seventeen kills in Barton's upset victory. The match marked Conceicao's fourth straight and sixth of the last seven matches with double digit kills as she accounted for 27 of Barton's 95 kills (28%) 

Carol Goncalves averaged 7.4 assists per set last week in Barton's 6-2 offensive attack helping lead the Cougars to a sweep of Jayhawk opponents.  Recording 7.33 per set in the Cougars short set sweep of Pratt Community College, Goncalves upped her assists to 7.5 leading to Barton's four set upset victory at No. 19 Colby Community College. Having just missed a double-double performance in Monday's match against Pratt, Goncalves' fifteen digs recorded the sophomore's sixth double-double of the season.
