After making her collegiate debut with a pair of stellar performances in victories last week, Valpo volleyball freshman setter Victoria Bulmahn (McCordsville, Ind./Mt. Vernon) has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Week.

After missing the season opener, Bulmahn stepped right in on Friday and dished out 30 assists in the sweep of Butler. Then, in her first career MVC match on Monday versus Loyola, Bulmahn tallied 50 assists over the four-set win and added 13 digs as well for her first career double-double.

Bulmahn's setting helped the offense to a .242 attack clip in the win over the Ramblers, as three different Valpo players reached double figures in kills, all hitting better than .300. For the week, Bulmahn averaged 11.43 assists/set and 2.86 digs/set.

Bulmahn becomes Valpo’s first MVC Freshman of the Week honoree since fellow setter Brittany Anderson earned the accolade on Nov. 20, 2017.
