Werner Takes First Career A-Sun Player of the Week Crown

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-After leading Campbell to a pair of victories last week, freshman outside hitter Emily Werner captures 2007's final Atlantic Sun Conference volleyball player of the week crown.

A native of Sarasota, Fla., Werner notched a pair of double-doubles on the week, her fifth and sixth on the year, totaling 35 kills, 29 digs, seven blocks and four aces, helping the Fighting Camels to a perfect 2-0 record.

"We have been really pleased with the year Emily has had," said CU head coach Malinda Ashcraft. "She has made incredible strides this season, which is extremely exciting as a coach. Her competitive attitude and physical talent has helped this team tremendously. We look for big things from Emily in the future."

On Tuesday vs. North Carolina A&T, the freshman notched a CU season-high 23 kills, including a whopping nine in the fourth frame to put the Aggies away. Already pacing the Fighting Camel offense, she added 17 digs as well. Werner also tacked on three block assists, a pair of aces, a block solo and one helper to complete her night.

Just two days later, Werner collected a dozen kills and digs, her second straight double-double, while also collecting three block assists and two more aces in a win over Winston-Salem State.

Werner finishes her rookie campaign with 297 kills (2.80 kpg) and 193 digs (1.82 dpg), good for second on the team.

Campbell concluded its season last week, following a pair of victories, finishing the year with an 11-19 overall mark, and 2-9 in the A-Sun.
