An outside attacker who helped lead Limestone to two victories last week is earning a college men’s volleyball award.
Off the Block announced Monday that Francisco Salinger Cenzual was named the Off the Block Independent Teams Player of the Week.
Salinger Cenzual led all players with a season-high six aces and had eight kills on a .538 attack percentage in a sweep against Lees-McRae on Tuesday. He also had both a season-high nine blocks and eight digs while contributing 11 kills as Limestone beat Belmont Abbey in five games on Friday.
The Independent Teams Player of the Week recognizes the best player during the week from NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball teams that are competing without a conference affiliation.
The eight independent teams this season are Alderson Broaddus, Daemen, D’Youville, Limestone, Lincoln Memorial, Queens, St. Francis Brooklyn and Tusculum.
Off the Block determines the Independent Teams Player of the Week based on a variety of factors, including a player’s individual performance and how a player’s team fared during the week.
The winner of the Independent Teams Player of the Week is unveiled every week during the regular season on the Off the Block website, offtheblockblog.com.
Off the Block is a national award winning website that started in 2011 and is the nation’s leader in college men’s volleyball coverage.
