INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Northern Kentucky volleyball senior Reilly Briggs was named the Nike Horizon League Player of the Week on Oct. 12, as announced by the league office this afternoon.

"Reilly competed at a very high level his past weekend," said head coach Liz Hart. "She averaged over five kills per set and nearly hit over. 400 including 19 kills and over .620 on the road at IUPUI."

The La Porte, Ind. native helped guide the Norse to a 2-0 record this past weekend, defeating both IUPUI and Purdue Fort Wayne on the road. NKU swept through the Jags first on Friday and then took down the Mastodons 3-1 Saturday afternoon. 

Briggs finished the weekend with 36 total kills, 5.14 kills per set and seven overall blocks. She currently ranks 10th in the conference in both total kills (171) and total points (196.5).

Northern Kentucky returns to action next on Friday, October 14, as the Norse return home to face Robert Morris in a conference matchup inside Regents Hall. NKU will be hosting their Dig Pink Night and will be broadcasted on ESPN+ at 6 PM (ET).
