DETROIT -- Kayla Giroux (Flat Rock, Mich.) was named GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week for the fourth time this season, as announced by the league on Monday afternoon.  Giroux has now received GLIAC weekly honors eight times in her career, which includes seven on the offensive side and one as a defender.

This past week, in a pair of road wins for Wayne State, Giroux hit .538 with 39 kills and only four errors on 65 total attacks.  Starting with the sweep at Lake Superior State on Friday, the senior finished with 14 kills and just one error on 23 attempts (.565).  Then on Saturday, the middle blocker led the Warriors to a reverse sweep of Saginaw Valley State with 25 kills (career high), three miscues and 42 swings (.524).

With two matches to play in the regular season, Giroux leads the conference in hitting percentage (.397), kills (350) and kills per set (3.89) to go with third in total blocks (88), tied-for-second in assisted stops (73) and tied-for-seventh in solo stuffs (15).  Nationally the WSU captain ranks 15th in hitting percentage, 23rd in points per set (4.55), 28th in kills and 30th in kills per set.

Giroux and her teammates' last two outings before postseason play will be at home inside the Matthaei against Grand Valley State on Thursday and Purdue Northwest on Friday.  The first serve for both of those matches is slated for 7 p.m.
