May's award marks the eighth AVCA NPOW for the Bruins, as she joins Karsta Lowe (Oct. 21, 2014), Kelly Reeves (Sept. 27, 2011), Lauren Cook (Sept. 15, 2009), Nana Meriwether (Sept. 5, 2006), Nellie Spicer (Nov. 14, 2005), Kristee Porter (Oct. 19, 1998) and Annett Buckner (Oct. 17, 1994).
MAY, HADRYCH EARN PAC-12 WEEKLY HONORS
After the Bruins defeated both No. 2 Stanford and No. 15 California last weekend, junior Mac May was named Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week, while Lexi Hadrych earned Pac-12 Freshman of the Week accolades, as announced by the league on Monday.
May produced 33 kills and a .338 hitting percentage in the two Bruin victories, adding 19 digs, four blocks and an ace. Last Friday (Oct. 25) against Stanford, May registered 12 kills and 10 digs for her seventh double-double of the year.
