This is Chason's second weekly recognition. She earned her first honor on Sept. 28.
Chattanooga Mocs libero Catherine Chason (Alpharetta, Ga.) was named the Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Week for Oct. 26-Nov. 1, the league announced Monday. It is the second time she has won this award.
Chason posted 17 digs at Mercer Thursday and 26 against Wofford in Maclellan Gym on Saturday. Over the two matches, she averaged 5.38 digs per set. Chason has marked double digits in digs in every match but one this year and boasts 16 matches with 15 or more.
She has racked up 429 digs and averages 4.82 per set. Before the weekend, she was ranked 53rd nationally in digs per set and 70th total. She has moved up to sixth on UTC's all-time career list with 1,456.
Her strong performance from the back court plays a big part in the Mocs being ranked 13th in the nation for digs per set (17.15) and 61st in total digs (1389), as of Oct. 28.
The Mocs are 20-4 and 9-2 in SoCon play, a half-match behind Furman for first. The squad is on an 11-match winning streak at home and won 16 of their last 18 overall.
UTC is back in action Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., facing Samford in Birmingham, Ala. Chattanooga returns home for Senior Night against The Citadel on Friday at 6:00 p.m. The Mocs' last home match is Saturday against Furman at 6:00 p.m. in Maclellan Gym.
