Junior outside hitter Angie Porché has been recognized by the Collegiate Volleyball Update (CVU.com) as one of its Top Performers for the second consecutive week after her All-Tournament performance at Indiana’s adidas Classic last weekend.

Porché tallied 61 kills and 28 digs over Valpo’s three matches at the adidas Classic as the Crusaders went 2-1 for a second-place finish.  She especially stood out in Valpo’s win over ACC opponent Wake Forest, going for 28 kills on .357 hitting, the second-most kills in a four-set match in Valpo history.  Through two weeks, the junior ranks second in the nation in kills/set (5.13) and, additionally, leads the Horizon League in service aces/set (0.48).

CVU recognizes a Player of the Week as well as ten Top Performers weekly during the volleyball season, chosen from among all Division I players.  This is Porché’s second consecutive appearance on the Top Performers list, following an opening weekend where she was named MVP of Notre Dame’s Shamrock Invitational.
