WINTHROP, Mass. – After sweeping GNAC-rival Emmanuel as well as the Statesmen Volleyball Classic, featuring No. 16-ranked Misericordia and No. 18-ranked Baldwin Walace, two student-athletes on the Wentworth Institute of Technology men's volleyball team claimed weekly honors by the Great Northeast Athletic Conference, as announced by the league Monday afternoon. Senior Jacob LaBouliere (Pipersville, Pa.) was named GNAC Offensive Player of the Week while junior Josh Milke (Eastampton, N.J.) earned GNAC Setter of the Week honors. The awards are for matches played February 5-11.

Adding to Wentworth's historic opening to the 2024 season, LaBouliere guided the offense at the Statesmen Volleyball Classic, averaging 15 kills per match across a 3-0 weekend. The outside hitter averaged a .511 clip across the weekend and also chipped in with 11 digs and five blocks. Against Emmanuel four days prior, the senior led with 16 finishes and added two digs and one block.

Milke continued his productive stretch throughout the week, averaging 35 assists per match and topping 40 dishes in any one match for the second time this season. The junior also added to his stat line with eight blocks and ten digs across the four-match week.

The No. 1-ranked Leopards are 11-0 this season, their hottest start in program history, and host Lasell in a rematch of last year's GNAC finale on Wednesday night.
