As of Sept. 17, Greenspoon was ranked 29th among all NCAA Division I players for assists per set with 11.14.
Chattanooga volleyball's sophomore setter Lauren Greenspoon (Houston, Texas) was named the Southern Conference Player of the Week for Sept. 14-20 by the league's office on Monday. It is her first SoCon weekly award.
"Lauren has been exceptional all season," head coach Travis Filar stated. "Our passers know she will get to every second ball, and our attackers know they will get a hittable ball in a great location. That's a huge confidence factor for our team."
Greenspoon totaled 172 assists over four matches for an 11.47 average per set. She recorded the most assists on the court in every match except against the Hokies. However, the setter posted a double-double versus Virginia Tech with 50 assists and 11 digs. Because of Greenspoon's strong performance at the Hokie Invitational Friday and Saturday, she earned Most Outstanding Player at the event.
As of Sept. 17, Greenspoon was ranked 29th among all NCAA Division I players for assists per set with 11.14. Her performances helped the Mocs reach No. 15 in assists per set (13.49).
UTC had a perfect week beating out Kennesaw State (3-0), Liberty (3-0), Virginia Tech (3-2) and Middle Tennessee (3-1). The win against Virginia Tech was the Mocs first victory over a "Power 5" school since Sept. 18, 2004 when the team beat North Carolina State 3-2.
Chattanooga is on a seven match winning streak with an 11-2 record. This is the best start for UTC since 1986 when the team went 12-1 to start the season.
The Mocs are back at home in Maclellan Gym this weekend to open SoCon play. Chattanooga is set to face UNCG Friday at 6:00 p.m. (E.D.T.) and Western Carolina Saturday at 6 p.m.
