Emory University freshman middle Jessica Holler (Roswell, GA) has been named by the University Athletic Association as Volleyball Player of the Week following her performance at the league's Round Robin I in Cleveland, Ohio.  It is the second time this season that she has been tabbed for the honor.

The 6-foot-1 Holler helped the Eagles to a 3-0 record, playing in all nine of the team's sets and topped the team with a blistering .553 hitting percentage (27-1--47) while playing a key defensive role as well with a 2.33 blocks-per-set showing.  In the opening match of the Round Robin, a 3-0 decision over Carnegie Mellon, Holler was third on the team with nine terminations, hit .500 (9-1--16) and chalked up a match-high seven blocks.  She followed that effort by tying for match honors with 10 kills en route to a .833 attack percentage (10-0--12), and contributing nine blocks (1-8) as the Eagles swept NYU.  In the weekend, finale, a 3-0 verdict over host Case Western Reserve, she compiled a hitting percentage of .421 (8-0--19) and paced all players with five total blocks (1-4). 

Jessica's efforts helped Emory raise its overall record to 21-1.

The Eagles return to action on Tuesday, October 8, when they host Lee University in a 7:00 p.m. start.
