Defensive Player of the Week
Fabiola Medina / FY / Penn State Abington / Caguas, Puerto Rico / Academia del Perpetuo Socorro

In a 3-0 week, including two wins against conference opponents, Medina averaged an impressive 6.64 digs per set after totaling 73 for the week.  She also committed just one reception error on 47 total attempts in the three matches.  She highlighted the week with a season-high 40 digs in the team's 3-2 come-from-behind victory at Notre Dame of Maryland University.  The Nittany Lions trailed 2-0 in the match, before winning the final three sets.  As a result, Abington extended its win streak to nine straight; the longest in the program's Division III era. In the conference opener versus Penn State Brandywine, Medina totaled 20 digs and three aces. 

This is the first Player of the Week award for Medina, who is currently 6th in the United East in both Service Aces (46) and Digs per Set (4.72).
