GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Three Grove City College fall sports athletes earned Presidents' Athletic Conference weekly honors Monday afternoon in recognition of their performances last week.
Sophomore cornerback
Cameron Epps (Pittsburgh, Pa./South Allegheny) earned Defensive Player of the Week distinction in football while senior middle blocker
Kendra Klusch (Alliance, Ohio/Homeschooled) captured Defensive Player of the Week in women's volleyball.
Freshman midfielder
Ana Hahn (Beaver, Pa./Beaver) merited the conference's Newcomer of the Week award in women's soccer.
Epps intercepted two passes in the second half Saturday night at Westminster, helping Grove City rally for a 34-19 win at Memorial Field. His 64-yard interception return to the end zone with 3:41 left in the third quarter gave Grove City the lead for good, 20-16. Epps then intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter to help seal the Wolverines' third straight victory. He also had a season-high six tackles.
Klusch helped Grove City go 2-0 in conference play last week as she averaged 1.44 blocks per set. She recorded nine total blocks and eight digs in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Westminster. Klusch then posted four blocks Friday night in a four-set victory over Washington & Jefferson.
Klusch also averaged 2.33 kills per set while hitting .333 in the two wins. She has moved into ninth place in program history with 296 career blocks.
Hahn recorded three points in a 2-0 week that vaulted the Wolverines into first place in the conference. She scored Grove City's first goal Saturday in the Wolverines' 4-0 victory at previously-unbeaten Franciscan. Hahn also recorded an assist last Wednesday as Grove City topped visiting Westminster, 5-1, at Don Lyle Field.
The Grove City football team will host Hiram at 1 p.m. Saturday in conference action. The women's volleyball team travels to Thiel for a 7 p.m. match Wednesday. Meanwhile, the women's soccer squad hosts Hiram at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
