LEXINGTON, Ky. – The awards keep trickling in for Madison Scheer. Auburn's stellar outside hitter has been named AVCA/GameChanger National Player of the Week the association announced on Tuesday.
A day after receiving her second SEC Player of the Week honors of her young career, the Eureka, Missouri native now steps into the national spotlight. Scheer swung for a career-high .667 with 14 kills on 18 attempts with only two errors in the Tigers' historic win in Gainesville on Friday.
Two days later, the sophomore put up another 19 kills on .371 hitting as Auburn ground out a victory over South Carolina to improve to 14-3 on the season and 4-2 in SEC play.
In total, Scheer put up 33 kills on a monstrous .472 hitting, averaging 4.13 kills per set and 4.31 points per set.
The recognition marks the second time in program history a Tiger has won National Player of the Week and the first in the rally-scoring era. Rani Whitson picked up the award on Oct. 28, 1996. It's also the second player under head coach Brent Crouch to receive the honor.
