Valparaiso University junior Emily Campbell (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Central) has been named the Horizon League Offensive Player of the Week after reaching the 1,000-kill milestone last weekend.

Campbell opened the week with one of the most efficient performances of her career, going for 14 kills on just 26 swings without committing an attack error – good for a .538 hitting percentage - in a sweep of Chicago State. On Friday, the junior paced the Crusaders with 18 kills at Cleveland State.

Saturday then saw Campbell help lead Valpo to a come-from-behind five-set win at Youngstown State. With her fourth kill of the match, Campbell became the 14^th player in Crusader history to reach 1,000 career kills. Then, entering set four trailing two sets to one, the junior stepped up for Valpo, tallying 13 kills over the final two sets on .619 hitting. Fittingly, it was Campbell who ended the match with a kill – her 25^th of the match, tying her career high set last month against UIC.

For the week, Campbell averaged 4.38 kills/set on .321 hitting on the attack. She also posted a new career high with five service aces against the Penguins and added 22 digs for a double-double. Campbell and the rest of the Crusaders return to action Wednesday night at the ARC for a non-league matchup with IPFW at 6 p.m.
