Giordano Named Defensive Player Of The Week; Hegarty Tabbed To Honor Roll

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (SMU/AAC) – Janelle Giordano was named American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week, and Katie Hegarty was named to the weekly honor roll for her offensive production at the NC State Invitational, conference officials announced Monday. Hegarty was named MVP of the tournament, and Giordano earned all-tournament honors, after leading the Mustangs to the championship with a 2-1 record with a five-set loss at NC State.

Giordano became just the third player in program history and the first in The American history with 500 career blocks. The senior has 501, needing just 79 to break the school record, set by Courtney Manning with 579 blocks from 2009-12. She had 20 blocks in the three matches, including eight blocks each in 3-0 wins against Delaware and High Point. Eight blocks are the third highest recorded and tied for seventh in the 3-set match at SMU.

Hegarty led the Mustangs in kills in all three matches, making it seven straight with a team high for the junior. She scored 47 kills in the three matches, averaging 4.27 per set, and had 18 in a 3-0 win against High Point, hitting .351. Hegarty is third in The American this season with 4.00 kills per set.

The Mustangs went 2-1 at the tournament, losing their first 5-set match of the year against NC State. SMU is now 5-4 overall, and plays next at the TCU Invitational, facing Sam Houston State, No. 11 North Carolina and [RV] TCU.
