After helping the Orlando Valkyries to two victories, middle blocker Natalie Foster has been named the Pro Volleyball Federation Player of the Week presented by Franklin Sports.
Foster opened the week with three service aces, five kills and a pair of assists as the Valkyries swept the Atlanta Vibe before turning in a 20-point effort in a 3-1 win over Indy on Saturday. The middle blocker registered a career-high 12 kills against the Ignite and equaled the PVF record for aces in a four-set match with six. Her nine aces on the week upped her season total to 19, which is tied for fourth on the PVF single-season record list. This is her first career PVF weekly honor.
Next up for Foster and the Valkyries is a visit to Columbus on Thursday, February 12 before Orlando hosts Grand Rapids on February 15 in the sixth week of PVF action.
Foster will receive a Kendra Scott Volleyball Pendant Necklace in white mother-of-pearl. The award is part of PVF’s recently announced partnership with Kendra Scott to advance a mutually shared goal of empowering girls and young women and supporting organizations with that same mission.
