SEMO Redhawks Volleyball is off to a 4-2 start, including winning the CEFCU Invitational championship the opening weekend at Bradley University. The Redhawks defeated DePaul, Bradley, and Central Michigan to pick-up the title. Laney Malloy was named tournament MVP, while Claire Ochs and Tara Beilsmith picked up all-tournament team honors.
Meanwhile, Ochs and Beilsmith also earned OVC Player of the Week honors following the CEFCU Invitational.
Last weekend, the Redhawks picked up a win against Purdue Fort Wayne, and battled in a pair of five-set matches against Western Michigan and Indiana in the Discover Kalamazoo Classic. Malloy once again earned all-tournament team honors, as she surpassed the 1,000 career kills milestone during the weekend.
