COLUMBUS, Ohio – For the second-consecutive week, Jacob Pasteur, a senior outside hitter from Westminster, Maryland, was named the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Offensive Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.
In addition, Pasteur was selected by the American Volleyball Coaches Association as its National Player of the Week. For more on that honor, click HERE.
The Buckeyes went 2-0 at the First Point Collegiate Challenge last weekend in Austin, Texas, with wins over No. 1 UCLA and No. 13 USC. Ohio State is 6-0 this season.
With Pasteur leading the way, Ohio State moved to No. 1 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association rankings this week.
With 23 kills, Pasteur led the Buckeyes to a 3-2 win over the Bruins after Ohio State fell behind 0-2 in the match. He then added 13 kills in another five-set win over the Trojans. He finished the week with a team-high 36 kills while hitting .333.
He also added six aces and four blocks last week. Pasteur's kill total over the weekend moved him to the No. 11 spot in Ohio State history with 1,211 for his career. He leads the team so far with 109 and has been in double digits in kills in all six matches on the year.
The award this week is the third weekly MIVA award this year for the Buckeyes. Senior Justin Howard took the defensive player of the week award Jan. 9.
The next chance for Ohio State fans to see the top-ranked Buckeyes is in a Top 10 matchup with No. 9 Penn State Thursday at the Covelli Center in Columbus. Match time is 6 p.m. with B1G+ providing the live stream. All regular-season home men's volleyball matches are free, as is parking in the lots around the Covelli Center.
