WINTHROP, Mass. -- Mount Ida senior Michael McCullough (Southborough, Mass.) has earned recognition from the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) as Corvias Men's Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week, announced on Monday afternoon by the conference office.
McCullough had a standout defensive week as the Mustangs went 2-1 in non-conference play, highlighted by a 19-dig performance in a three-set win over John Jay in New York.
The defensive specialist followed that performance up by digging out 14 balls as the Mustangs also swept York College in the same afternoon. He averaged nearly 4 digs per set throughout the week and over six digs per set in the victory over John Jay.
McCullough and the Mustangs (4-9, 0-2 GNAC) will be on their home court twice this week, starting tonight when they host Johnson & Wales and concluding Wednesday with a date against Albertus Magnus. Both matches are set for 6:00 pm in Mount Ida Athletic Center.
