The ULM women’s volleyball team continues their winning ways this season and others around the conference are starting to take notice as well.

The Warhawks, who had a very disappointing season last year, are already on their way to a successful season thus far. Part of the reason for success is the continued great play from junior Zuzana Markova.

The Czech Republic native led her team down to Cajun country in Thibodaux to take part in the Nicholls State tournament, fresh off her “Player of the Week” honors.

Although very talented on the court, she is very humble about her skills.

“I am very thankful I got ‘Player of the Week’, but it also gives the team recognition,” Markova said.

She said, “It shows how hard we have been working and I could not do the things I do if I did not have my teammates out there with me.”

Coach Earnest Vasquez said, “I am very proud of Zuzana, but I wish all my players could get ‘Player of the Week.’”

He said, “They have all worked hard and are deserving, but still I am happy for ZuZana and the way she has been playing. It also is nice the team gets some credit as well because it shows how hard we work as a team.”
