Calvin University sophomore outside hitter Sarah Bradley has been named the AVCA Division III National Player of the Week for women's volleyball.

It marks the first time since Heidi Westra received the award in 2021 that a Calvin player has received the honor.
 
Bradley (Clarkston, Mich./Everest Collegiate) won the honor after a stellar week in leading the 12th-ranked Knights to wins over Hope College (3-1) and Albion College (3-1) and improve to 18-2 on the season and 5-0 in league play.
 
In the rivalry match against Hope on October 21, Bradley recorded a career-high 25 kills and added 15 digs to help the Knights defeat the Flying Dutch. She followed that performance by recording 21 kills a career-high 18 digs against Albion. Both teams entered the week unbeaten in league play and in a tie with Calvin for first place in the MIAA standings.
 
Bradley finished the week averaging 5.75 kills and 4.13 digs per set while hitting .347 on the attack. She currently ranks 21st in NCAA III with an average of 3.95 kills per set.
 
On Monday, she was named MIAA Player of the Week for the second time. As a freshman last fall, she was named the AVCA Region Freshman of the Year.
 
Calvin women's volleyball will return to action on Thursday, October 29, when it plays at The University of Olivet. The Knights then head to Case Western Reserve University for a trio of weekend match. Calvin will face Heidelberg Friday at 7 p.m. William Smith Saturday at 1 p.m. and host Case Western Reserve on Saturday at 3 p.m.
