Burrowes, a graduate student from Wesley Chapel, N.C., averaged 4.22 kills per set on a .341 hitting percentage across Tusculum’s three sweeps. The outside hitter had her best outing at Lincoln Memorial, tallying 16 kills on a .414 rate. Burrowes reached double-digit kills in every match, recording double-doubles in the contests at Newberry and Lenoir-Rhyne with 10 and 15 digs, respectively. She also added two service aces and five block assists. On the season, Burrowes is averaging 3.41 kills per frame on a .228 clip.
Hill, a freshman from Salisbury, N.C., totaled 60 digs in Catawba’s 2-0 week. She first recorded 27 digs in the five-set win over Emory & Henry before adding 33 (8.25/ set) in Catawba’s four-set win over Mars Hill on Saturday. Hill is the second player this season to earn back-to-back Player of the Week honors and the first to do so on the defensive side.
