Already the Southern Athletic Association offensive player of the week, freshman Lilly Reilly became the Sewanee volleyball program’s first-ever national player of the week. The American Volleyball Coaches Association named her the Sports Imports/AVCA Division III honoree for her part in a 5-0 stretch in which Reilly had a hitting percentage of at least .345 in all five matches. She was the “most outstanding player” in Roanoke’s Maroon Classic after recording 52 kills on 113 attempts and reaching double figures in digs in three of the four matches. She and Rebecca Rowan each had seven kills with Destiny Stewart’s eight as Sewanee rose to 9-1 for the season with a 3-0 home win (25-5, 25-13, 25-18) Wednesday night over Mississippi University for Women. Constance Connolly set 28 assists.
