Ferris State volleyball player Olivia Henneman-Dallape named GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week as Bulldogs start season with three wins

Ferris State University senior standout Olivia Henneman-Dallape has been chosen as the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Volleyball Offensive Player of the Week.

Henneman-Dallape led the Bulldogs to a 3-0 mark to open the year at the BritKare Lady Buff Classic in Canyon, Texas.

The Bulldog veteran notched a team-high 43 kills in the three wins, tallying a .364 attack percentage with only seven errors on 99 attempts. She also tallied a 45.5 points average.

Henneman-Dallape, a native of Oregon, Ohio, had a match-high 23 kills in Ferris State’s season-opening 3-2 road upset over nationally third-ranked host West Texas A&M.

She recorded a team-best 14 kills as Ferris State closed the event on Saturday with a 3-0 sweep over West Virginia State University, which reached the NCAA Tourney last year.

Ferris State was ranked 18th in the American Volleyball Coaches Association D2 preseason national poll.

The Bulldogs will head this weekend to the University of Alabama Huntsville Invitational on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 13 and 14, in Huntsville, Ala.
