Thanks to a banner weekend from Temi Thomas-Alaira, in which the true first-year outside hitter earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the second week in a row in the best volleyball conference in the country, Northwestern volleyball (7-2) went two for three in Durham this past weekend.
A straight-set loss to an impressive Georgia team (6-3) started the weekend off on the wrong foot, but a dominating win over Duke in the nightcap evened it out, before a record-breaking battle of a four set victory over American the next day put the Wildcats fully in the black once again.
