2018 SCHEDULE | GIVE | WAC TOURNAMENT CENTRAL
DENVER – Seattle U senior setter Shae Harris has been named the Western Athletic Conference Offensive Volleyball Player of the Week, for the week of Nov. 12-18. This is the first honor of the season and second of her career for Harris.
Harris, a Vancouver, British Columbia native, quarterbacked Seattle U to a pair of monumental wins in the final weekend of the regular-season to propel the Redhawks into the WAC Tournament. She averaged a WAC-best 9.67 assists per set to go along with 1.00 kills on .400 hitting for the week. On Thursday against Grand Canyon, Harris was three kills shy of a triple double, finishing with 45 assists, 15 digs and seven kills on .429 hitting. She also added one service ace and a pair of blocks in the match as Seattle U scored the final six points in the final set to secure the five-set victory. In a must-win match on Senior Day on Saturday against CSU Bakersfield, Harris again rose to the occasion, finishing with 42 assists and 15 digs to go along with a pair of kills, one ace and three blocks. The back-to-back double-doubles give her 10 on the season.
Seattle U opens WAC Tournament play on Thursday, Nov. 22, facing off in the first round against Kansas City. First serve from the Icardo Center in Bakersfield, Calif., is set for 7 p.m.
