A season-best performance from outside attacker Jose Ramirez resulted in a victory for Alderson Broaddus and a college men’s volleyball award for the sophomore.

Off the Block announced Monday that Ramirez was selected as the Off the Block Independent Teams Player of the Week.

Ramirez led all players with a season-high 20 kills as Alderson Broaddus defeated Queens in five games on Friday. The outside attacker also contributed seven digs and two blocks in the Battlers’ home-opener victory against a fellow independent program.
