Strong Performances Lead to CAC Women’s Volleyball Weekly Accolades
Strong performances in leading their teams to multiple victories have Alice Lloyd College (Kentucky) senior Christa Amburgey, Haskell Indian Nations University (Kansas) junior Jaspen Ellenwood and Carolina University (North Carolina) freshman Kai Horta collecting the Continental Athletic Conference Women's Volleyball Player of the Week awards.
Amburgey, the attacker of the week, tallied 33 kills and hit an impressive .526 across four matches. The outside hitter tallied 10 kills with just one error in a 3-1 loss to Oakland City University (Indiana) last Friday. The senior also had 11 kills in a 3-1 win against Grace Christian College (Michigan) one day later. Amburgey's performances helped Alice Lloyd open with eight straight points in one of the four matches during the week.
Ellenwood, the setter honoree, dished out 60 assists and averaged four assists per set across three matches. She tallied 23 assists in directing HINU to a thrilling five-set victory against Crowley's Ridge College (Arkansas) last Wednesday. The junior also registered 20 assists in another five-set win against Stephens College (Missouri) last Saturday.
Horta, the defender award winner, kept the Bruins' defensive unit stable across four matches at last weekend's Maroon Classic. She had 94 digs and was a perfect 8-for-8 in serve receptions in a 3-0 victory against Paine College (Georgia) last Tuesday.
