ST. LOUIS – A great start to Missouri Valley Conference play saw Melanie Feliciano earn MVC Freshman of the Week honors for the third time in four weeks when she averaged 5.75 kills per set to lead the University of Evansville to a weekend split.
"Melanie does not act or play like a freshman," Purple Aces coach Fernando Morales said. "She keeps getting better and better every day and it is not by chance – she has worked for it."
Aside from her kill tally, Feliciano led the team hitting.279 in the two matches in Iowa.
