Kayla Giroux and Kayla Dulgar Receive GLIAC Weekly Honors

Giroux was titled Offensive Player of the Week while Dulgar was named the league's best setter.

DETROIT -- Senior middle hitter Kayla Giroux (Flat Rock, Mich.) and junior setter Kayla Dulgar (Warsaw, Ohio / River View) of the Wayne State University volleyball team were honored by the GLIAC on Monday afternoon.  Giroux was titled Offensive Player of the Week for the fourth time in her career while Dulgar was named Setter of the Week, also for the fourth time as a Warrior.

Giroux's most recent offensive award comes after she was named the Warrior Invitational All-Tournament Team MVP.  The senior hit .487 during Wayne State's 4-0 season-opening week with 64 kills and only nine errors on 113 attacks.  The middle hitter reached 1,000 kills for her career in the second match and led the Warriors to their first 4-0 start since 2021.  Defensively, she registered 13 total blocks (one solo, 12 assisted) to go with two service aces in the tournament's finale and five-set victory over Winona State on Saturday.

Dulgar joined Giroux on the Warrior Invitational All-Tournament Team.  She was responsible for 169 assists (10.56 per set), 55 digs (3.44 per set) and 10 total blocks (all assisted).  The setter finished with a double-double (assists & digs) in three of the four matches as well.  On the program's career assists chart, the junior moved up two spots from ninth to seventh with 2,292 career assists to her name.

Those two and their teammates will be in Amherst, N.Y. on Friday and Saturday for three matches as part of Daemen's Wildcat Classic.  Wayne State will face Dallas Baptist on day one (3 p.m.) before seeing Clarion (10 a.m.) and the host Wildcats (6:30 p.m.) on Saturday.
