SEWARD, Neb. – Nearly half of all GPAC Setter of the Week awards this fall have been scooped up by Concordia University junior Tara Callahan. The native of Brady, Neb., has collected the honor for the fifth time this season, as announced by the GPAC on Tuesday (Nov. 12). Teammates Marissa Hoerman and Emmie Noyd have also earned a GPAC weekly accolade this fall.
In last week’s action, Callahan accumulated 85 assists, 13 digs, four blocks and four kills over seven sets. In the GPAC tournament quarterfinal win over Doane, Callahan posted 49 assists and 11 digs as the Bulldogs moved on in the bracket. Concordia is now 23-5 overall and ranked 16th in the NAIA. On the year, Callahan is averaging 10.75 assists per set (11th most among all NAIA players).
Callahan and the Bulldogs will return to action on Wednesday with a GPAC tournament semifinal clash at No. 8 Jamestown (27-4). First serve is set for 7 p.m. CT from Newman Arena in North Dakota.
