Player to Watch: Callie Minshew
Despite Eastern Michigan’s rocky season, Callie Minshew has been a consistent part of the team. The outside hitter has been a staple of dominance and consistency throughout the season, recording 3.68 kills per set. Her total kill mark on the season is an impressive 339, more than twice as much as the next closest Eagle. Minshew has recorded 14 and 15 kills in her last two matches, respectively. As the Bobcats look to sweep the Eagles this weekend, shutting down Minshew will be crucial.
