Juhnke Earns Week 1 Heart of America Athletic Conference Honor

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Morningside's drought of Men's Volleyball Player of the Week honors since joining the Heart of America Athletic Conference has come to an end, as Tucker Juhnke claimed the defensive honor for the season's first week. The honor also comes as a nod to the strong start that the Mustangs have had.

Juhnke had 3.36 digs per set in last week's four matches, with 47 across 14 sets. The junior from Lamberton, Minn., had just three errors on serve-receive, while claiming three service aces.

The Mustangs are off to a 7-1 start on the season and will play their next seven matches in the Rosen Verdoorn Sports Center, starting with their home opener on Friday at 2 p.m.
