CHICAGO (October 3, 2022) – Karlie McNabb (Sun Prairie, Wis./Sun Prairie), a junior at Loyola University Chicago, has been selected as the Atlantic 10 Conference Women's Volleyball Player of the Week, it was announced today by the league office. In two wins over Fordham last weekend, the outside hitter averaged 5.00 kills, 2.00 digs and 0.33 service aces per set as the Ramblers improved to 4-0 in A-10 play.
Â
This marks the third weekly A-10 honor for the Ramblers this season.
Emily Banitt and
Grace Hinchman were tabbed Atlantic 10 Player of the Week and Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, on September 12.
Â
McNabb was sensational in a three-set sweep of Fordham on September 30 in her first action since September 6, compiling 17 kills, which was just two away from her career-best mark set earlier this year at Michigan, and eight digs. She followed that performance by putting up 13 kills, four digs and a pair of aces in another sweep of the Rams the following afternoon as Loyola won its fourth consecutive match and stayed unbeaten (4-0) in A-10 action.
Â
Last weekend, McNabb was making her first appearances since her mother, Kim, lost a courageous battle with cancer on September 7.
Â
Through 34 sets of action this season, McNabb is contributing 2.91 kills and 2.24 digs per set and hitting .189 (99-46-280).Â
Â
Loyola (10-7, 4-0 A-10) puts its four-match win streak on the line tomorrow night (Oct. 4) when it travels to Saint Louis (12-4, 4-0 A-10). First serve is slated for 6 p.m. CT.
