Diaz Vega named CCAC Defensive Player of the Week

CHICAGO --- The final Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference women's volleyball weekly awards for the 2024 season go to a trio of familiar faces following the announcement by the league office Tuesday afternoon. Judson University's Alyssa Gerzel (Lake Villa, Ill.), St. Ambrose University's Kenia Diaz Vega (Caguas, Puerto Rico) and Olivet Nazarene University's Analiese Fredin (McBain, Mich.) have all been named as honorees at least one time earlier this fall.

Diaz Vega remained hot in collecting her second straight and third overall CCAC Defender of the Week award. The graduate student defensive specialist averaged 7.0 digs per set and totaled 30 receptions against only one error in her two matches played covering seven sets.

Diaz Vega registered 31 digs (7.75 avg.) and 20 receptions in a four-set win over University of St. Francis on Thursday. She followed that up with 18 digs and ten receptions in a four-set loss to Nebraska Wesleyan University on Friday.

St. Ambrose, which enters the CCAC Tournament as the No. 4 seed, is 15-15 overall and went 9-5 against league competition.
