KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Reinhardt (Ga.) junior outside hitter Gabriel Gutierrez is the NAIA Men's Volleyball Attacker of the Week after helping the 14th-ranked Eagles to a pair of wins last week, a sweep of Truett McConnell (Ga.) and a four-set win at Life (Ga.).

Gutierrez hit a blistering .431 on the week, including .536 with 19 kills in the second match of the week at Life. He began the week with 13 kills and a .304 hitting mark in three sets against Truett McConnell. 

He was responsible for 38.5 points on the week, adding four blocks and four service aces, and he added to the Eagles' defensive effort with seven digs across seven sets. 

Reinhardt is now 15-3 on the year, and they're back on the court at Life, this weekend, taking on Webber International (Fla.), Warner (Fla.), and No. 6 St. Thomas (Fla.) - Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
