NAPERVILLE – The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) announced its Men’s Volleyball Student-Athletes of the Week for matches played between Monday, Feb. 3 and Sunday, Feb. 9.
Hitter: Owen Otto, Carthage, Sophomore (Hartford, Wis.)
Otto put down 18 kills on 35 swings to lead the sixth-ranked Firebirds to a four-set victory road win at #19 Dominican on Saturday.
Otto added six digs, three assists and a pair of service aces in what was Carthage’s seventh win of the season. His 20.0 points were a match-high.

The 6-foot-4 setter logged 25 assists, 21 digs and 10 kills to lift the Titans over 19th-ranked Dominican last Thursday, IWU’s first-ever win over a top-20 opponent. Reutter followed with 28 assists, 12 digs and 11 kills in a five-set bout with Benedictine on Saturday.
He finished the week with averages of 5.00 assists, 2.67 digs, 2.00 kills and 0.40 blocks per set.
