Late Tuesday afternoon, the Southwestern Athletic Conference announced that it had selected two more Lady Hornets’ volleyball players for the weekly SWAC Athlete of the Week honors for their play for the week of November 3-9.
Chelsey Scott, a junior from Enterprise, Ala., tied a season-best with 18 kills on a .394 hitting percentage and added a career-high five blocks in a five-set victory against Alabama A&M last Thursday to be named Offensive Player of the Week for the second consecutive week and third time this season.
Scott is averaging 2.30 kills per set and 2.64 points per set, which both rank ninth overall in the SWAC. The 5-foot-10 outside hitter also has 202 kills, which is second most on the team.
Brooke Beasley, a senior from Winfield, Ala., had a season-high 28 assists, six digs and two aces to be named the Co-Setter of the Week. It is the second straight week that Beasley has garnered Setter of the Week honors.
Beasley has 378 assists, which is the second most on the team. The 6-foot setter has recorded three consecutive games with at least 20 assists and has six games this season in which she has reached that plateau.
The Lady Hornets (12-17 overall, 6-0 SWAC) have won eight of its last 10 games and clinched its second straight SWAC East Division crown with its victory against Alabama A&M.
“They’re peaking at the right time,” said Alabama State women’s volleyball coach Penny Lucas-White. “It’s exciting. We need to finish strong this weekend and take care of business.”
ASU will take on SWAC opponents Alcorn State Friday at 7 p.m. and then will finish out the regular season with a game against Mississippi Valley State on Saturday at 1 p.m.
