Winterfeld Returns with GPAC Attacker of the Week Award

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Northwestern outside hitter Stella Winterfeld has been selected as the GPAC Attacker of the Week, presented by Hauff Mid-America Sports. It is the second time this season that she has earned a GPAC weekly honor.

"Stella came back to playing and really had a great weekend. Our team had two great road wins against two really good opponents," head coach Kyle Van Den Bosch commented. "Stella scored offensively at a really high level but also serving passing and defending. What a great honor for Stella and our team."

Winterfeld led the Raiders to two top-20 road wins in her return to the lineup, headlined by a 22-kill, 11-dig performance in a four-set win at No. 2 Concordia on Friday night. Less than 24 hours later, she posted 15 kills and four aces in a sweep of No. 18 Midland. Winterfeld averaged 5.29 kills per set and had 15 digs on the weekend.

The Raiders are back home on Wednesday to play Mount Marty before traveling to face Viterbo (Wis.) on Thursday.
