UC Ivine's Kelly Wing Named Big West Women's Volleyball Player of the Week
UC Irvine senior Kelly Wing (Murrieta Valley, CA/Murrieta Valley HS) was chosen Big West Women's Volleyball Player of the Week after pushing the Anteaters along on their 10-game home winning streak and blasting her way to becoming UC Irvine's leader in service aces.

The 5-11 outside hitter had five aces against Utah State to cap the week with 11 service aces and 145 career service aces, passing up Gina Elchuck’s record of 142 (1981-84). Wing also surpassed the 1,900 career kill mark this week with help from two 30-plus matches. Her five service aces against Utah State matched her career high for the fourth time, and her seven block assists against Idaho was a personal best.

In three matches, Wing averaged 6.46 kills, 0.85 aces, three digs and 0.77 blocks per game as UC Irvine improved to 4-2 in the conference and 10-4 overall.



Congrats to Ms. Wing.

I was impressed with her performance when she played in Hawaii last month. She isn't physically imposing (listed at 5-11) but she's got a great all around game. She seems to do it all -- attack, block, dig, serve aces. Glad to see her recognized for her efforts.

Wing kind of reminds me of Elsa Stegman (sp?) from Pacific a while back. She was not exactly big heightwise, but she definitely had some power in her swing or at least she did when I saw her play in the final four in Hawaii years ago.

Kelly Wing is a lot more like Roberta Gehlke than Elsa Stegeman!
