GLIAC Release
GLIAC - Davenport's sophomore middle hitter,
Emmy Webb, was named GLIAC South Player of the Week for the first time in her career on Monday. The honor comes after Webb hit a blistering .583 with 23 kills and only two errors on 36 swings in a pair of three-set sweeps over Purdue Northwest, the Panthers' first two wins of the season.
The Rockford native started her week by breaking the Davenport record for hitting percentage in a single match (minimum 20 attempts) when she hit an absurd .773 with 17 kills and not a single error on 22 attacks. That effort marked just the second instance in school history in which a Panther hit at least .700 in a single match with at least 20 attempts (Hannah Stone - .714 - Sept. 5, 2014). Webb then followed that up with six more kills and a .286 hitting clip on Saturday.
Webb becomes the first Panther to receive the honor since teammate,
Megan Herr, did so back on Oct. 7, 2019. Since joining the GLIAC prior to the 2017 season, Davenport has earned the accolade a total of six times as Webb and Herr are joined by
Krissy Dill (two-time winner),
Jessica Marvin and
Ashley VanderHorst.
This week on the schedule, Davenport is on the road for a pair of matches at Lake Superior State on Friday (3 p.m.) and Saturday (12 p.m.).
