ST. LOUIS – Newcomer Emmy Ogogor has been selected the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday afternoon. This is the first career accolade for Ogogor.
Ogogor turned in the second-best hitting percentage this weekend for the Redbirds, as Illinois State swept Drake and handed UNI its first conference loss of the season. The rookie combined for 16 kills – matching a career-high 13 kills against the Panthers – behind .343 hitting to average 2.00 kills per set. Ogogor had a trio of kills and blocks against the Bulldogs on Friday night, before kicking it up a notch on Saturday.
