TOLEDO, Ohio --- Maddie White, a freshman outside hitter for the No. 2 Owens Community College volleyball team, was named the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC) player of the week on Tuesday.

It is the second such honor of the season for White, who was named the co-player of the week on Aug. 30.

"Maddie is a team leader on and off the court," Owens head coach Sonny Lewis said. "She does what she needs to do to help the team, and she always works hard, which is what she did this past week to earn the honor."

White (Ottawa, Ohio/Ottawa-Glandorf HS) racked up 46 kills, 39 digs, five blocks, four assists and four aces in 14 sets over four matches last week, which included three wins over conference foes as she helped propel the Express (14-5, 5-1) into sole possession of second place.

In a Friday night win over Edison, White posted 15 kills and 13 digs for her fourth double-double of the season. She also recorded double-digit digs against Muskegon as the team went 3-1 on the week. In total, she had three matches with 10+ kills and two with 10+ digs. 

White currently ranks among the national leaders in total kills (5th, 187), kills per set (8th, 3.46), block assists (T-10th, 22), total blocks (11th, 31) and total digs (16th, 154),

This Wednesday's match at Edison State has been postponed. The Express are scheduled to be back in action Oct. 2 in Grand Rapids, Mich.
