KU’s Payne honored again

Kansas University sophomore right-side volleyball hitter Kelsie Payne earned her third consecutive Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week award Monday after leading all conference players in offensive production last week with 5.5 kills per set and 5.8 points per set.

The four-time Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week has four 20-kill performances in her last five matches, including last week against Texas and TCU. Payne totaled 44 kills on a .395 hitting percentage in those two games.
