McKenna Melville had a big week with UCF Volleyball. The AAC Offensive Player of the Week had a total of 46 kills across two games, and now leads the nation with 6.12 points per set. She also became the only active player in the nation with 2,000 kills.
"McKenna was obviously a big factor in two huge team wins this weekend," head coach Todd Dagenais said via UCF Athletics. "She helped us get off to a good start this season and her continued off-court leadership and on-court execution will continue to be a recipe for success as we go week to week towards our goals."
