Senior MacKenzie Knox was named the Atlantic 10 Volleyball Offensive Player of the Week Monday, marking the first weekly honor of her career as a Colonial.
Knox lead GW to a 2-0 weekend against league opponents, sweeping Temple Friday and La Salle Saturday to earn the team’s first A-1o road victories. She hit .516 over the two matches, earning 21 kills against five errors in 31 attempts. Knox opened her weekend play Friday by posting a career-high in kills, with 15 on .650 hitting percentage, and points, with 17.5.
Knox and the Colonials head to Ohio next weekend, taking on Xavier Oct. 28 and Dayton Oct. 29. The Flyers are the only team to hand GW a home loss this season.
