Volleyball phenom wins her third straight award
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton Volleyball's Norah Sis has been named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week for the third straight week, and fourth time overall.
The Bluejay outside hitter hit .320 and averaged 3.17 kills, 2.83 digs, 1.50 blocks and 0.17 aces in a pair of one-sided 3-0 victories last week over Georgetown and Villanova.
Â
Sis picked up her fourth consecutive double-double on Friday vs. Georgetown when she collected 10 kills and 10 digs on .269 hitting. She also tied a season-high with five blocks.
Â
The Papillion product finished off the week with nine kills, seven digs, four blocks and an ace on .375 hitting vs. Villanova as the Bluejays picked up their 20th win of the fall.
Â
Sis has previously been honored by the league on Sept. 6, Oct. 11 and Oct. 18 and is the third player in Creighton history to win three straight league Freshman of the Week accolades. Joining her in that elite category are teammates Kendra Wait (3 straight in 2021) and Keeley Davis (7 straight in 2019).
St. John's Rachele Rastelli was named Offensive Player of the Week and Butler's Melody Davidson was recognized as Defensive Player of the Week. Creighton's Annika Welty landed on the league's weekly Honor Roll after averaging 2.33 kills and 2.17 blocks per set.
Ranked 24th nationally, Creighton (20-3, 8-2 BIG EAST) returns to the court this weekend with road matches at Marquette (Friday, 7 pm) and DePaul (Saturday, 6 pm). Both contests will air on FloSports.
