Andover freshman volleyball standout Kiki Wright has been selected as the Valley Sports Daily Female Player of the Week, presented by MTM Insurance, for the week of Nov. 1-7.
The 6-foot outside hitter/setter continued her strong play from the regular season into the state tournament. In a 3-0 Division 1 round-of-32 win over No. 27 Lexington, Wright sparked sixth-seeded Andover with 15 kills, 14 service points (three aces) and 10 digs. The All-MVC selection has had double-digit kills in 20 of her first 21 games for Andover (16-5).
“Kiki has had a remarkable freshman campaign,” said Andover head coach Dan Young. “While no surprise to the volleyball community, her arrival and production was known to be elite. But what is equal to that is her work ethic, ability to perform under pressure and handle the pressure of high-stakes games at such a young age. Her game grows by the day and for as dominant as she is, her cup is only half full. The sky is the limit.”
Wright said, “This year has been great, we have a lot of senior leadership that sets a good example for me to follow. We’ve been working really hard and I hope we go on a deep playoff run.”
Andover will host No. 11 Bishop Feehan in the round of 16 on Wednesday (5 p.m.).
The Player of the Week, presented by MTM Insurance, is selected by the Valley Sports Daily staff. One male and one female student-athlete will be selected as Players of the Week throughout the year. Nominations can be submitted throughout the week up until Saturday night at 8 p.m. There may be a poll posted on Sunday with the nominations. The results of the poll influence the selections but do not strictly dictate the decisions.
