GaNun Sweeps Player of the Week Accolades

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Recognizing her outstanding performance on the court in helping lead the St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) women's volleyball to their second consecutive conference title, sophomore Lauren GaNun (Breezy Point, N.Y./Fontbonne Hall) has been named the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA), Association of Division III Independents (AD3I) and Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (HVIAC) women's volleyball Player of the Week.

GaNun provided the offensive spark for the Lady Bears this week as the sophomore netted three double-doubles as St. Joseph's went 2-2. The middle hitter had the best all-around game of her career in the Lady Bears five-set win over HVIAC opponent Culinary that clinched their second consecutive regular season conference title. In the matchup against the Steels, GaNun had a career-high 24 kills to go along with her career-high 17 digs as St. Joseph's remained undefeated in league play. The sophomore recorded double-digit kills in each of the Lady Bears four matches and concluded the week with a team-high 67 kills good for a 4.19 kills per set average while hitting a respectable .228.

GaNun averaged a team-high 4.8 points per set and currently leads the HVIAC in kills per set (3.97) and hitting percentage (.292). The sophomore continues to lead the team in kills with 254 and has a team-high 34 blocks on the year.

The middle hitter picks up the USCAA honor in back-to-back weeks and now has won it three times in her career. The sophomore also earns the third AD3I Player of the Week honor of her career and the second in a row from the HVIAC giving her five for her career. GaNun has earned all seven awards given to Lady Bears this year.

St. Joseph's returns to action tonight as they honor seniors Megan Moran, Sabrina Cornia and Phia Martinez when they host HVIAC foe Sarah Lawrence at Brooklyn Technical High School with a start time of 7:30 p.m. With a win tonight, the Lady Bears will secure their second straight undefeated season in conference play.
