Altoona’s Brianna Woodring earns AMCC Defensive Player of the Week recognition

NORTH BOSTON, N.Y. - Penn State Altoona women's volleyball's libero/defensive specialist Brianna Woodring, of Greencastle, was named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference's Defensive Player of the Week, after the league announced its weekly awards on Sept. 29.

Woodring would compile 50 digs and averaged 5 digs per set during a 3-0 week of non-conference play for the Lions last week.

In a 3-1 victory against Chatham University last Thursday, Woodring would be the team leader in digs, tallying 26 digs.

Woodring would follow up that performance with 22 digs in a three-set sweep of Wilkes. In her second game of the tri-match that weekend, she would have two digs in a yet another three-set sweep, this time against Bard.

Through 14 matches this season, Woodring is tied for eleventh in AMCC for digs with 193. She is eighth in the AMCC for digs per set with 4.11. This is her first AMCC Defensive Player of the Week selection.

Penn State Altoona women's volleyball is 6-8 so far this season and returns to action on Sept. 30 as they travel to face Penn State Berks.
