NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana has swept the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference volleyball awards for the fourth time in six weeks.
Eva Le Guillou won her first GCAC Setter of the Week honor, joining four-time Defender of the Week Anna Dalla Vecchia and two-time Attacker of the Week Kayla Black. The three freshmen were honored for Sept. 25-Oct. 1.
Le Guillou, from Velizy-Villacoublay, France, produced 36 assists and 16 digs in two matches. At Mobile she had her double-double of the season, 15 assists and 10 digs. She started for the first time against Dillard at home and had a match-high 21 assists.
Dalla Vecchia, from Vicenza, Italy, led the Gold Nuggets with 14 digs against Mobile and 19 against Dillard. She handled 50-of-51 serve receptions without an error. Her current streak of matches with double-figure digs is nine.
Black, from the Houston suburb of Magnolia, Texas, and a graduate of St. Pius X High School, hit a team-best .268 and led XULA in kills in both matches. Her 18 kills were the most by a XULA player against Mobile since 2013. Her week included 28 kills, 14 digs and four aces.
Black leads the GCAC this season with a .253 hitting percentage and 3.21 kills per set.
Le Guillou, Dalla Vecchia and Black were part of a defensive effort that limited Dillard to a minus-.009 hitting percentage.
A school-record six Gold Nuggets have won GCAC weekly awards this season. The previous high was five in 2015.
XULA (11-2) will play William Carey (11-8) at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Convocation Center.
