After being named the MVP of the NIU Invitational, NIU volleyball junior middle blocker Autumn Flynn has been named the Northern Star’s Huskie of the Week.
In the NIU-hosted tournament where the Huskies faced Merrimack College, Indiana State University and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Flynn contributed 37.5 total points for the Huskies.
Flynn added 27 kills, including the match-winner against SIUE on Saturday. The University of Memphis transfer also added 9 total blocks and 5 service aces over the course of the tournament.
This is Flynn’s first career Huskie of the Week, and the first of the season for volleyball.
The Huskies wrap up non-conference play at the Hampton Inn Invitational, starting at 10 a.m. Friday against Gonzaga University.
The Northern Star sports section’s Huskie of the Week is voted for on a weekly basis. Student-athletes considered for this week’s edition were selected based on their performance in competitions taking place from Sept. 1 to Sept. 7.
