AVCA POW: The national player of the week is Clarke Godbold of Long Beach State. The junior outside hitter averaged 4.25 kills in four sets, a win at Penn State.
MOREHEAD STATE: Last week, Morehead State coach Jaime Gordon stepped away from that role to devote his time to being the school’s full-time athletic director. He didn’t look far to replace himself, elevating assistant Kyrsten Becker-McBride. She’s been at his side for 12 years.
