ERIE, Pa. – After standout performances last week, Robert Bolmanski (men's water polo) and Ashley Beyers (volleyball) have been honored as the Gannon University Student-Athletes of the Week for week eight of the 2021-22 athletics season. The Gannon Student-Athlete of the Week Award is sponsored all season long by Chick-Fil-A of Erie.
Beyers, this week's PSAC Volleyball Offensive Athlete of the Week, was also honored as the Gannon student-athlete of the week after guiding the GU offense from her setter position last week. She began the week by recording 35 assists, 16 digs and two aces in Gannon's nonconference win over Daemen College on Tuesday night at the Hammermill Center. Her effort against Daemen allowed the senior to surpass the 4,000-career assist mark. She is just the second player in program history to surpass the milestone. She followed up that performance by recording 33 assists and eight digs in a home win over Indiana (PA) on Friday. She wrapped up the week with 30 assists, 10 digs and three aces in a road sweep over Seton Hill on Saturday afternoon.
Bolmanski was named the Tournament MVP as he and his Gannon teammates won their fourth-consecutive CWPA Division II Championship over the weekend at the Hallman Aquatics Center at nearby Cathedral Prep. Bolmanski, a senior from McDowell High School in Fairview, Pa., was selected the Tournament MVP after scoring six goals in Saturday's preliminary wins, including five in the upset win over top-seeded McKendree, followed by three goals and an assist in the title game on Sunday afternoon.
