JAMESTOWN, ND. (NewsDakota.com) – The latest NAIA poll for men’s volleyball came out today and with an overall record of 8-2 on the season, Jamestown jumped from seventh to sixth.

Since the last poll on February 10th, the Jimmies have gone 6-1 with their only loss coming against #1 Grand View University in five sets. Jamestown also brought home GPAC Player of the Week Honors as Derek Correa earned the setter of the week and Derek Owens was named the attacker of the week.

Correa, a freshman out of Vega Baja Puerto Rico, had 142 assists this past week for the Jimmies. Correa currently sits as the leader in the conference for assists and is 12th nationally.

Owens made just eight errors while wracking up 41 kills and hitting above .540 the past five games. The freshman from Minnesota is 4th in the NAIA in attacking percentage this season and leads the GPAC at .538.

The Jimmies host Ottawa in conference play this Thursday and Friday in Harold Newman Arena. Jamestown will look to stay perfect in the GPAC and unbeaten against everyone other than #1 Grand View. First serve is set for 7 pm on both days, and you can listen to full coverage of the game here.
