That may be true, but I'd still like your two cents (or 20 grand if that's more applicable). |

BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week
Jenna Walsh, Seton Hall, So., OH
Walsh led the BIG EAST in kills (5.11) and points (5.56) in a 1-1 road swing for the Pirates. She posted 20-plus kills and points in both matches last week, beginning with 24 kills and 26.0 points in Friday’s five-set thriller against Georgetown. She followed that with 22 kills and 24.0 points at Villanova on Saturday, while adding nine digs and a service ace in each contest. Walsh was the only BIG EAST player to eclipse the 20-point, 20-kill mark in both appearances last week. Her kills and points totals in each match were the highest two marks in the conference last week, while her kills totals are the two highest tallies in league play this season.
BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week
Rachel Krasowski, DePaul, Jr., L
Krasowski sparked the Blue Demons to back-to-back wins last week, averaging 5.38 digs per set in wins over Providence and UConn. The junior had the two highest digs totals in four-set matches last week, beginning with 28 against the Friars on Friday and followed by 15 against the Huskies on Saturday. Her digs average listed second among BIG EAST players last week. Krasowski passed the 1,000 career digs mark on Friday. She added eight assists against the Friars and four against the Huskies. DePaul’s opponents hit .152 last week for the third-best mark in the BIG EAST.
BIG EAST Freshman of the Week
Ava Martin, Creighton, Fr., OH
Martin was stellar in a 2-0 week for the 21st-ranked Bluejays. In 3-0 sweeps of Xavier and Butler, Martin led the BIG EAST in hitting percentage (.581), while ranking second in kills (4.67) and points (4.83) per set. She posted two of the top-four hitting percentages of the week – including her weekly league-high .684 clip against Xavier on Wednesday. Her back-to-back 14-kill outings were the most in a three-set match last week, while her 15.0 points against Butler and 14.0 against Xavier were the two highest points tallies in a three-set match last week. Martin is the first Creighton freshman with four straight matches of double-digit kills to open conference play. She currently leads the BIG EAST in kills (4.45) and points (4.59) over her first four BIG EAST matches.
BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll
Jaymeson Kinley, Butler, Jr., L – led the BIG EAST in digs (7.50) last week; career-high 42 digs on Sunday against Xavier were the most in a BIG EAST match since 2014
Keeley Davis, Creighton, Sr., OH – anchored the Creighton defense which limited opponents to .086 hitting in a 2-0 week; 3.83 digs, 1.00 aces and 2.50 kills per set, while hitting .387
Karis Park, Georgetown, So., L – No. 4 in the BIG EAST in digs (4.70) last week; sparked the Hoyas to their first BIG EAST win of the season with 26 digs, two aces and six assists in Friday’s victory over Seton Hall
Hattie Bray, Marquette, Fr., MB – hit .545 with 3.33 kills and 0.83 blocks per set in a 2-0 week for the Golden Eagles; career-high 11 kills in Saturday’s win over Providence
Madeline Barber, Villanova, Jr., MB – career-high 10 blocks in Friday’s win over St. John’s are the most in a BIG EAST match this season; No. 2 in the BIG EAST in blocks (1.50) last week

To weigh in on the Georgetown thing . . . They were invested more under Toby than in previous years, but that's not saying a lot. Admissions are an incredibly difficult challenge and the support services around the athletic department are practically nonexistent. Hell, they shared a locker room with two other sports until just a few years ago. The nonrevenue sports they're invested in win (MSOC, WSOC, MLAX, WLAX) and everyone else just tries to survive. What happened to Toby? Enquiring minds want to know. |

how do you not give Kinley DPOW?? lol Her team lost both matches; Krasowski’s team won both. Also, Kinley’s outstanding stats were heavily weighted to the Xavier match; she was good but not amazing against Creighton. |

I am just now noticing that Marquette has zero seniors on their roster and the only junior they really play is Skrabak. I'm impressed even more with Theis. Definitely the front runner for Coach of the Year and possibly for National Coach of the Year

Glad she is finally playing and doing well! The mentality Theis discussed is important. Marquette is one of the few ranked teams to have avoided the dreaded huh? loss this year, and they have a solid chance to host the first two rounds and be seeded high enough to avoid a regional host in the round of 16 should they advance. Creighton always looms big, obviously, and I support the Jays in that due to KBB being the setter in my graduating class at Northeast Missouri/Truman, but Marquette has done a great job with the rebuild from all they lost to graduation. I hope Wisconsin is done with Marquette this year, and a potential rematch in Milwaukee would definitely not be a fun prospect for Badger fans! |

Maybe jsonline responded to my yeah-but gripe of thanking them for covering badgers but asking why not more Marquette? Anyway, I didn’t notice watching them some this year if they have her take second ball as backup setter ala Carlini to Courtney Thomas ? Or maybe they just use the libero to keep her available as a hitter. That badger approach was so smooth though.

Definitely the front runner for Coach of the Year and possibly for National Coach of the Year No argument here, but Marquette's success shouldn't overshadow the other great job being done in the BE, at Seton Hall by first-year coach Shannon Thompson and staff. That program had lost momentum under the previous staff and Thompson already has them winning every match they should, and some they shouldn't. (Thompson came to the Pirates after two years as HC at Canisius and two years as AC at Campbell.) |

Definitely the front runner for Coach of the Year and possibly for National Coach of the Year I was having a hard time looking at how they listed their players on their roster. A number of them would be listed as, say, a sophomore, but then in their actual descriptions below it'd show "2021 (FR) - Redshirt. Did not see time." And then for 2022 it'd say something like, "2022 (R-FR) - Had season high 8 digs in match against..." Plus when you look at the list of the entire roster on their website, it will say "Sophomore" next to their name along the left, but along the right where it shows their hometown, previous schools, etc. it'll show "junior." Possibly COVID making them a year older in terms of academics, but a year younger in terms of eligibility? Kind of confusing way to list their players. They list Hamilton as a sophomore, but then say she played 2 seasons at Notre Dame. Is she only a sophomore because she gets a year back due to COVID? |

But some are listed as their covid eligibility, see Anchante. She played 2 years at IW and is listed as a sophomore. |

I am assuming that the eligibility they have left is what is next to their height and position... and what is listed on the other side is their academic standing. so like van den berg is a senior academically, but is listed as a junior in eligibility. |

I thought it was weird they had no seniors |
