CALDWELL,
N.J. - Caldwell College sophomore middle blocker Titilola Alao
(Ossining, NY/Ossining) was named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference
Volleyball Player of the Week for the week ending Sept. 20, the league
announced today. Also, freshman outside hitter Susan McDonough
(Saline, MI/Saline) was selected the conference's Rookie of the Week. The
duo helped the Cougars win a pair of CACC matches last week.
Alao, who averaged 2.69 kills and 1.12 blocks per set, registered seven
total blocks to go with seven kills in a 3-0 victory over Bloomfield on
Tuesday. She then had eight kills and a .278 hitting percentage to lift the
Cougars past Dominican, 3-0 on Thursday. In Saturday's non-conference match
with Stonehill, Alao racked up a career-high 21 kills and hit .436 as
Caldwell lost in five sets. She also had six total blocks.
McDonough
led the Cougars in kills in the victories over Bloomfield and Dominican,
recording nine in each win. She then had 13 kills and 13 digs against
Stonehill, and a team-high 15 kills to go with 15 digs in a five-set loss to
Molloy. McDonough, who averaged 2.88 kills and 3.12 digs for the week, has
tallied 10 or more digs in all 12 matches this season.
The Cougars play at Felician on Tuesday and at Nyack on Thursday before
returning home to face Georgian Court on Saturday, Sept. 26.
