INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Cleveland State sophomore setter Gina Kilner has been named the Horizon League Offensive Player of the Week, after leading the Vikings to a 2-1 week in which they clinched the Horizon League Regular Season Title. This is the first weekly accolade for Kilner and the fourth for the Vikings this season.

Last week, Kilner helped the Vikings pick up a pair of victories against Northern Kentucky and UIC, en route to clinching the program's third regular season championship. Cleveland State finished the regular season with a 13-3 record in league matches – a win total that ties the program record.
