Freshman Chelsey Widdop (Reynolds, Ill./Rockridge) made quite
a collegiate volleyball debut last week and was named the season’s
first Midwest Conference Performer of the Week.
Through the Fighting Scots’ first four matches, Widdop – a
5-foot-9 hitter – is averaging 2.64 kills per set with a .286
percentage. She’s also added in a team-high five sets by non-setters
and leads the team with six ace serves.
Widdop is also doing the job defensively. Her 54 digs ranks her
second on the team and her six blocks are third. She has either led,
or tied for the lead in kills in every match this season. At last
weekend’s Monmouth Invitational, Widdop recorded a career-high 12
kills with a .440 percentage against Aurora. She was also named to
the all-tournament team.
