Martin Named MEAC Volleyball Rookie of the Week

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Freshman Gabrielle Martin (Stockton, Calif./St. Mary's H.S.) was tabbed as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Rookie of the Week, the league announced today. This marks the second consecutive week that Martin has garnered the honor.

Martin helped the Lady Bison to a 2-2 mark at the LaGuardia Courtyard Classic, hosted by Long Island. The middle blocker averaged 14.5 kills and 15 digs last week for Howard.  In a 3-2 win over LIU, Martin tallied five solo blocks and added 10 digs and fell just shy of a double-double against Navy, finishing with nine kills and a match-high 13 digs.

Howard returns to action on Monday with a road contest against Georgetown at 7 pm.
