Western New Mexico sophomore middle hitter Daphne Posthumus earned her second Lone Star Conference Defensive Player of the Week honor after helping the Mustangs go 3-0. Her standout week included 23 blocks across three matches, and her play helped WNMU secure the No. 8 seed in the conference tournament.

By the Numbers
  • 23 blocks, including 5 solo blocks, across 3 matches.
  • 12 blocks against St. Mary’s — the most by an LSC player in a three-set match this season.
  • 150 blocks and 287 kills through 29 matches this season.
State of Play
  • WNMU closed the regular season with 4 straight wins and earned the No. 8 seed in the LSC Volleyball Championship.
