The conference announced Monday that Ady O'Grady and Kamyla Vega David earned their second consecutive Player and Setter of the Week nods while Kensley Haneline captured her first career Freshman of the Week accolade.
 
Hailing from Hilton Head Island, S.C., O'Grady, the Big South's leader in hitting efficiency, paced the league in the category, posting a .409 mark, fashioning single-match hitting efficiencies greater than .500 on two occasions, the only conference player with multiple such matches between Sep. 1 and Sep. 7.

Vega David, a native of Carolina, Puerto Rico, led all Big South setters in total assists and assists per set, posting 164 helpers at an average of 10.93 per set. Her assist total ranked second among all NCAA setters as she exited the weekend ranked fourth in the NCAA in total assists. She complemented her assist totals with three double-doubles (49 digs), 11 total blocks, eight kills, and three service aces.
 
A Shelby, N.C. native, Haneline headlined all league freshmen in total blocks, producing 17 on the week at a clip of 1.13 blocks per set, including a career-high eight versus North Alabama.
