Athlete and Rookie of the Week 

Ansel Waisler (Fr., OH/OPP), Bard College 

Freshman Ansel Waisler (Venice, Calif.) was the number one option on the Bard offense during the 4-0 week, averaging 3.57 kills per set and extending his double-digit kill streak to six matches. He hit .275 during the week and had an especially efficient performance against Fisher, hitting 11 kills to just two errors for a .600 hitting percentage. He found a groove on his serve as well, averaging 0.86 service aces per set, recording career-highs in back-to-back days, hitting five against Fisher before totaling six versus John Jay. His defensive contributions include two digs per set as well, and he now ranks in the top ten in the NEVC in that category.
