Kayla Robinson Earns Third CCS Defensive Player of the Week Honor this Season

JACKSON, Miss. - Belhaven senior libero Kayla Robinson has been named the CCS Defensive Player of the Week for the third time this season after totaling 73 digs across three matches this week.

The Prairieville, Louisiana, native averaged 7.30 digs per set and added nine assists and two service aces. She led Belhaven in digs in all three matches, beginning with 25 at LeTourneau on Tuesday. That performance carried Robinson past 1,500 career digs. She also served an ace to tie the fourth set at 4-4 and stayed at the line as the Blazers took a brief lead.

Robinson followed with a match-high 33 digs at Piedmont on Friday.

The Blazers closed the road trip with a three-set win at Agnes Scott and Robinson again led the team with 15 digs. With Belhaven ahead 10-6 in the second set, she served four straight points. Mickeyla Sitsler and Tarryn Woodall put away kills during the run, and Robinson capped it with an ace to make it 14-6.

Robinson has a team-leading 388 digs through 20 matches, an average of 5.39 per set. She has now collected 1,554 digs in her Belhaven career and previously earned CCS Defensive Player of the Week honors on Sept. 14 and Sept. 28 this season.

Belhaven (10-10, 5-3 CCS) returns to Rugg Arena on Saturday, Oct. 24, to face Asbury at 10 a.m.
