Sophomore libero Brannan O'Neill led a strong defensive effort this past weekend in helping the Eagles to a 3-0 mark at the UAA Round Robin I.  O'Neill played in all 10 sets and averaged a team-high 4.60 digs per set that helped Emory hold its opponents to just a 16.4 hitting percentage. 

O'Neill led all players with 16 digs in a 3-0 win over Chicago on Saturday before totaling 13, second high on the squad, in helping in a 3-1 triumph over NYU on Sunday.  In the finale, she once again paced all performers with 17 digs, her second-highest total on the year, in a 3-0 verdict against Carnegie Mellon. 

Through 20 matches, she is tops on the club with a 3.46 digs per set average and has 10 performances of double-figures in digs to her credit.
