Calvin University senior libero Tryna Vander Zwaag was named MIAA Specialist of the Week for volleyball on Monday.
 
Vander Zwaag (Hamilton, Mich./Holland Christian) won the honor for her performance on Saturday, October 3, in wins over Earlham College (3-1) and 18th-ranked Otterbein University (3-2).
 
After recording 20 digs against Earlham to open the day, Vander Zwaag set a new season-high with 27 digs to help the 15th-ranked Knights overcome a 2-1 deficit to defeat Otterbein in five sets and improve to 11-2 on the season.
 
This season, Vander Zwaag is averaging a career-best 4.13 digs per set to go with 0.34 service aces per set. Earlier this year, Vander Zwaag recorded her 1,000th career kill.
 
This marks the second time in her career that Vander Zwaag has won Specialist of the Week honors.
 
Calvin women's volleyball will return to action on Wednesday, October 7, when it travels to Kalamazoo College for the start of MIAA play. That match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM.
