LaRocque Earns SoCon Freshman of the Week

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – For the third-straight week, a Georgia Southern Volleyball player took home Southern Conference honors as freshman Lauren LaRocque earned the league’s Freshman of the Week award for the week of October 25-31.

 The Borger, Texas native helped the Eagles to a perfect 2-0 record on the week, which included wins over division foes Furman and Wofford. 

With back-to-back 14-dig matches this week, in addition to another 14-dig match last week, the freshman twice tied her previous season high set earlier this year.  LaRocque earned the starting libero spot in Saturday’s win over Wofford.  She recorded three of her five service aces on the week against the Terriers. 

LaRocque is the second Georgia Southern player to earn Freshman of the Week honors as teammate Nicole Jeschelnik was awarded the honor last week.
