Rising junior recognized as "Second Best Spiker"
NOGALES, Mexico -- Creighton's Norah Sis was recognized as the "Second Best Spiker" following the completion of the U21 Women's NORCECA Pan American Cup on late Sunday night.
In five matches at the tournament, Sis collected 32 kills and hit .415 in 65 swings. She also had three blocks, four aces and 20 digs. Sis finished the week third on Team USA in kills, digs and aces.
Sis will return to Omaha later before heading to Europe with her Creighton teammates on Wednesday.
Sis' teammate, Purdue-bound Chloe Chicone, won the award for First Best Spiker and was also named Most Valuable Player of the event. The United States also earned three other recognitions; Gabrielle Essix was the First Best Middle Blocker, Lauren Briceño the Best Receiver and Rachel Fairbanks the Best Setter.
From Puerto Rico, team captain Marcelle Baez was named the Second Best Middle Blocker, Andrea Cruz was the Best Scorer, and Andrea Cruz was handed the awards for Best Libero and Best Defense. Mexico's Regina Perez was the Best Server and Dominican Republic's Ariana Rodriguez the Best Opposite.
The 2022 BIG EAST Player of the Year and a two-time BIG EAST Tournament MVP, Sis averaged 4.33 kills per set and 2.51 digs per set for a Creighton team that won the BIG EAST regular-season and Tournament titles. The Papillion, Neb., product has been named an AVCA All-American following each of her previous two seasons as a Bluejay, during which time Creighton is a combined 58-9.
Last summer Sis started all five of Team USA's matches while helping the U.S. Women's National Team to the 2022 Pan American Cup gold medal, collecting a combined 30 kills, 24 digs, four blocks and three aces on .286 hitting for the week.
