Thanks to Saluki guard Makenzie Silvey for joining us (after the team Christmas party no less!). The MVC named Makenzie their Player Of The Week after she averaged just over 21 points the last three games, including 19 in Sunday's big win over Illinois.

The Herrin Tigers clinched a share of the SIRR Ohio Division conference championship on Tuesday night after a 25-16, 25-21 sweep of Murphysboro, improving to 7-0 in the Ohio Division.  John Homan caught up with coach Karen Jurich, senior libero Kelsey Jurich, and junior Presli Karnes, who led the team in kills with 12, after the big win:

0:00 - Karen Jurich

3:22 - Kelsey Jurich

4:22 0 Presli Karnes

Terrific talk with Saluki punter Jack Colquhoun, named the MVFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his 5-punt, 49-yard average performance in Saturday's over South Dakota State.
