Neumann University Athletics

Conner Kolek, of the men's volleyball team, is this week's Neumann University Athlete of the Week. 

Kolek, who is the first Knight to earn CVC Player of the Week honors, helped Neumann split a pair of matches to open the 2020 season. The outside hitter led the Knights in kills in both matches on Saturday. He tallied nine kills against City College of New York and followed with a career-high 20 kills in a win over Colby-Sawyer. Kolek averaged 3.63 kills per set in the two matches, hitting .301 while adding 27 digs (an average of 3.38 per set). Kolek also chipped in with four total blocks and finished with 32 total points on the weekend.
