Ottumwa, IA – A pair of sophomores on the No. 2 Indian Hills Volleyball team have been recognized by the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) for their outstanding play on the court. Hennesys Lalane (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic/Colegio Luis Munox Rivera) and Jarolin de los Santos (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic/Luis Munoz Rivera) have been named ICCAC Athletes of the Week.

After guiding the Warriors to four victories, including three over nationally ranked opponents, Lalane and de los Santos were tapped as the offensive and defensive players of the week, announced by the conference office on Tuesday. The Warriors have now swept all six individual awards throughout the early portion of the season.

Lalane earned her second consecutive offensive player of the week after managing the Warrior offense from the setter position. Lalane dished out 164 assists while playing in all 17 sets of the Sheila Worley Invitational to earn MVP honors of the weekend event. Lalane also tacked on a career-high eight service aces in a win over No. 19 Northeastern Junior College (CO).

The freshman currently leads the nation with 698 assists and ranks third in the nation with 10.26 assists per set.

de los Santos earns her third-career ICCAC Defensive Athlete of the Week award after picking up two accolades last season. The sophomore posted 34 total blocks in four matches last week, including a career-high 13 against No. 19 Northeastern. de los Santos also added a season-best four solo blocks twice.

de los Santos currently leads the nation with 27 solo blocks this season.
