BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – It was announced this afternoon that the University of Tennessee at Martin teammates Logan Wallick and Kenzie Hinshaw nabbed Ohio Valley Conference weekly accolades. Wallick was crowned as the league's Offensive Player of the Week while Hinshaw brought home OVC Setter of the Week honors.
This marks the 10th time in school history that the Skyhawks have boasted two OVC weekly winners on the same date. These two join Justine Walker as UT Martin representatives who have earned OVC Player of the Week status in 2019, as Walker was named the league's Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 9.
The duo of Wallick and Hinshaw helped the Skyhawks go 2-1 last week, including an impressive weekend road sweep over OVC rivals Belmont (3-0) and Tennessee State (3-1).
A 6-0 outside hitter from Waddell, Ariz., Wallick has shouldered the offensive load lately for UT Martin, as she has led the Skyhawks in kills in seven consecutive matches dating back to Oct. 11. She becomes the seventh different UT Martin honoree to be named OVC Offensive Player of the Week.
Wallick accumulated 52 kills (4.73 per set) on a .291 attack percentage over 11 sets last week. The redshirt sophomore dialed up a career-best 24 kills on a .391 hitting percentage in Saturday's victory over Tennessee State. She also added 10 kills while hitting .280 in Friday's sweep of Belmont while putting away 18 kills on Tuesday against Middle Tennessee. In addition, she added 17 digs, eight blocks and a service ace in the three matches last week.
In conference play, Wallick ranks 10th in the OVC in kills (3.16 per set) while her overall 2.73 kills per set average leads the Skyhawks.
Hinshaw has taken on a more active role in the offense lately as she engineered an offense that hit .314 last week (including a .352 mark in OVC play). She becomes just the fourth player in school history to earn OVC Setter of the Week status.
The 5-9 junior out of Fishers, Ind. quite literally did it all for UT Martin last week – tallying 128 assists (11.64 per set), 17 kills (1.55 per set), a .405 hitting percentage (only two errors in 37 swings), 27 digs (2.45 per set), seven blocks and four service aces. In the win over Tennessee State, she equaled a career-high with 52 assists to go along with eight digs and five kills. During Friday's sweep over Belmont, she tallied 34 assists, seven kills and seven digs while also adding 42 assists, 12 digs and five kills against Middle Tennessee on Tuesday.
Hinshaw currently ranks sixth in the OVC with 8.73 assists per set while also pacing the Skyhawks with 22 service aces.
UT Martin begins a four-match homestand tomorrow as it hosts OVC foe Southeast Missouri. First serve from Skyhawk Fieldhouse is set for 6 p.m.
