The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) selected Gallaudet University sophomore outside hitter Brielle Worley (Amarillo, Texas) as its Women’s Division III Player of the Week for the week ending on September 29. 

Worley led the Bison to a 5-0 record last week as Gallaudet won the Worthington Classic and only dropped one set out of 16 played. She compiled 96 kills with a .362 hitting percentage to go with 36 digs, seven blocks, and six aces. The University of Texas at Tyler transfer added 16 kills in a home win over Goucher to finish the week with 112 kills.

Worley currently leads all NCAA Division III women’s volleyball players in kills (324) and points (361). She is second in kills per set (4.76), fifth in total attacks (753), and seventh in points per set (5.31). 

Gallaudet as a team leads Division III in service aces (195), and is 12th in team kills (825), 13th in hitting percentage (.248) and 16th in team assists (748).

“It is rare for a Gallaudet Bison player to receive this kind of national recognition. It’s truly an honor for Brielle to be named AVCA Division III National Player of the Week,” said Gallaudet coach Lynn Ray Boren, ’94. “Brielle played exceptionally well last week as we went 5-0 in those home matches.”

Congratulations, Brielle!
