Earles totaled 12 kills and three blocks as Hope rallied to defeat Calvin in five sets, ending the Knights' 49-match MIAA winning streak dating back to 2010. Then, she had nine kills in 11 attempts (.818 percentage) and three blocks in a sweep of Saint Mary's.
Earles is being honored as Player of the Week for the first time in her career.
