Wedel led No.2 Northwestern to a pair of five-set wins over ranked teams last week in conference play. She averaged 5.8 kills per set, hitting .445, in wins over 22nd-ranked Dordt and 8th-ranked Midland. Wedel added 22 digs and recorded double-doubles (kills/digs) in each match. In the win over Dordt, she hammered down a career high 32 kills, setting a single-match record (since rally scoring) in kills. She followed that up with 26 kills in the road win over Midland. This is the third time Wedel has earned the weekly GPAC honor.

Wacker directed a Red Raider offense that hit .268 and averaged 14.1 kills per set in wins over No. 22 Dordt and No. 8 Midland. She had 11.8 assists and 2.8 digs per set, totaling a career-best 70 assists in her team's five-set win over Dordt. Wacker was also in on five blocks and claims the GPAC honor for the third time this fall.

Northwestern is 11-0 in the GPAC, 23-0 overall, and will host College of Saint Mary Wednesday night.
