NJCAA Names Trapper Freshman Player Of The Week
Northwest College freshman Ana Jakovljevic was named the Division I volleyball national player of the week by the National Junior College Athletic Association on Wednesday. Jakovljevic earned the honor after a pair of outstanding games against Central Wyoming and at No. 10 Western Wyoming.
“That’s tremendous,” said Trapper volleyball coach Shaun Pohlman upon learning of the honor Wednesday morning. “That’s just outstanding.”
The 6-0 outside hitter from Valjevo, Serbia, began her week with 23 kills and 27 digs in a Region IX North loss to Central Wyoming in Powell. Last Friday, she produced 22 kills while hitting at an eye-popping .576 clip against 10th-ranked Western Wyoming, a contest the Trappers won in four games.
Although it didn’t factor into the national honor, Jakovljevic continued her blistering pace Tuesday night with 24 kills in the Trappers four-game win over No. 16 Casper College.
The Trappers play four games this weekend at the North Idaho tournament.
