Winthrop University volleyball sophomore Addison Torain has earned her fifth Big South Conference Libero of the Week award this season, the conference announced Monday.
Torain’s five weekly honors set a program milestone, as no other Winthrop player has received more than three Libero of the Week awards since the conference began presenting the recognition in 2008.
Torain anchored the Eagles’ back row during the team’s recent matches against High Point and Radford, recording 35 digs in eight sets for an average of 4.38 per set. She also contributed 10 assists.
Against High Point on Friday, Torain finished with 12 digs. She followed that performance with 23 digs and nine assists in Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Radford, coming one assist short of a libero double-double.
Her 4.38 digs-per-set average ranked third in the Big South for the week.
The latest recognition adds to an impressive sophomore season for Torain, who continues to play a key role in Winthrop’s defensive effort.
