NAPERVILLE – The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) announced Carthage’s Zach Bulthuis and North Central’s Jeremy Cardenas as the league’s Men’s Volleyball Student-Athletes of the Week, Tuesday afternoon.
Bulthuis, a senior from Tinley Park, Ill., put down a season-high 15 kills in the Firebirds’ five-set win over North Park last Saturday in Kenosha. He committed only two errors on 24 swings for a .542 hitting percentage, allowing the Firebirds to win their sixth consecutive match and begin the CCIW schedule with a 1-0 record.
Cardenas was a defensive stopper for the Cardinals during their three-match trip to Thousand Oaks, Calif., totaling 17 blocks over 10 sets. The Bolingbrook, Ill. native had six blocks in matches against Cal Lutheran and UC Santa Cruz before adding five more blocks in a second match with the Kingsmen.
