ROCK HILL, S.C. - After leading their team to an impressive 3-0 week, Catawba's Shay Meeks and Jenny Young are the recipients of the SAC weekly awards for week three.

She also added eight blocks on the week.

Young, the SAC Specialist of the Week, set a school record with 55 digs in Catawba's win over Tusculum. For the week, the junior libero totaled 102 digs, averaging nearly eight per-set. She also recorded two services aces against Lenoir-Rhyne and one against Tusculum.
