This is a 'high five' and shout out to Torrey Stafford. Tonight.....against Wake Forest.....she had another stellar performance.....483 Hitting %.....16 kills....1 ace....3 blocks.....10 digs....and scored 18.5 points. That's a game ball performance. I point this out because she has yet to win the ACC Offensive Player Of The Week award by the ACC. The ACC can boast that they have 5 athletes that have been nominated by the NCAA as finalists for National Player Of The Year award. Each one of these 5......except for Torrey....has been named by the ACC for one of their weekly awards.
- Olivia.....3 times as Offensive Player of the Week
- Rachel.....3 times as Setter of the Week
- Kami Minor....Stanford....3 times as setter of the week
- Elena Scott....Louisville...3 times as Defensive Player of the Week
- Torrey....not once
I will be cheering loudly for her to follow up with another outstanding match on Sunday against NC State and win the recognition she deserves. To conclude....I'll just echo a comment from a poster on the Volley Talk Board (and it wasn't me).....'it is criminal that Torrey Stafford has not been named yet by the ACC as offensive player of the week'.
