Tyler Zentner, Football

Ty Zentner was a major factor in Butler’s win over Coffeyville, as he consistently flipped the field as a punter. He punted six times, averaging 41.8 yards per kick, but he put five of those inside 20 with four inside the 10-yard line. Two of those were downed at the 2-yard line. Zentner also made his only field goal attempt from 37 yards and was 1-2 on extra points. The missed kick was blocked.

Nia Bishop, a sophomore from Derby, Kan., had a monster match for Butler in a straight-set sweep at Pratt as the Grizzlies moved into a tie for first place in the Jayhawk Conference at 4-0. Bishop had 13 kills and an astounding .650 hitting percentage with no errors in the match. She also had a service ace, eight digs and a solo block. Earlier in the week, Bishop had 13 kills in a match against Independence with three service aces and two solo blocks while hitting .182.
