CHRISTINE GALLART NAMED MUSTANG-OF-THE-WEEK


Mount Ida College freshman women's volleyball middle blocker Christine Gallart (Germantown, MD/St. John's College HS) has been selected as this week's Mustang-of-the-Week.  Gallart was huge in a 4-0 overall week for the Mustangs notching 40 kills, 14 aces, nine digs, and six blocks.  She has been a force all season helping the Mustangs to a 12-2 record the past 14 games.   Three out of the four victories last week came against Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) opponents (Lasell College, Norwich University, St. Joseph's College (ME)) and one non-conference opponent (Salem State College) pulling the Mustangs into fourth place in league standings.   Gallart has been outstanding all season, working with women's volleyball Assistant Coach and Mount Ida alumnus Tim Hughes ‘07, who broke every record in the men's volleyball program books as a middle during his tenure as a Mustang.  Gallart leads the team in kills (134), service aces (47), and solo blocks (30) so far this season.  The Mustangs round out the regular season with two home non-conference matches starting this Wednesday against visiting Western Connecticut State University at 6:00 p.m.
