Two of the WKU volleyball team’s key contributors received weekly awards from Conference USA on Monday, as freshman Paige Briggs was named Freshman of the Week for the second time this season and sophomore Lauren Matthews received Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors.
The awards came after both Lady Toppers had stellar performances last week, helping WKU to a 4-0 record and a Holiday Inn–University Plaza Invitational title, which included wins over Ohio State and Tulane.
For Briggs, the first-year player now has her second Freshman of the Week nomination in three weeks on the Hill. The freshman totaled 39 kills across WKU’s 13 sets to go along with a team-leading 54 digs.
