OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Izadora Stedile, Hofstra
Senior | Outside Hitter | Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil
Stedile had a strong finish to the regular season as she led the way for the Pride in helping the team secure two road wins and the top seed in the upcoming CAA Volleyball Championship. The Brazilian totaled team-highs of 38 kills and 31 digs across two matches, while also adding three blocks, two service aces and a pair of assists. She notched 18 kills and 12 digs in the four-set win over Northeastern on Friday, while adding two blocks and two assists. The Pride’s outside hitter followed up with a stellar performance in the regular season finale as she had 20 kills and 19 digs to power the Pride. For the week, Stedile averaged 4.75 kills and 3.88 digs per set while bumping her double-double total to 16 on the season.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Ryann Love, William & Mary
Senior | Middle Blocker | Chesapeake, Va.
Love recorded 13 total blocks in the Tribe's weekend sweep of Hampton, including three solo. It was the most blocks by any CAA player over the weekend, despite playing just six sets. Her 2.17 blocks per set paced the league. The senior middle blocker posted four stuffs on Friday to eclipse the 200-block threshold for her career. Love became the 14th Tribe player in the rally-scoring era to achieve the feat. The Chesapeake, Va., native’s nine-block performance on Sunday is tied for the most in a three-set CAA match this season.
CO-ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Caroline Noonan, Charleston
Freshman | Middle Blocker | Charlotte, N.C.
Noonan continued her strong play at the net, concluding the regular season with 19 kills, 10 blocks and a .375 hitting percentage in the sweep over Elon. In Saturday's win, Noonan tallied six kills and six blocks before hitting .423 with 13 kills and four blocks on Sunday. Noonan has recorded six blocks in five matches and has hit at .400 or better, with a minimum of 12 kills, in six contests this season.
CO-ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Nina Jioshvili-Ravva, Hofstra
Freshman | Setter | La Roquette-sur-Siagne, France
Jioshvili-Ravva helped lead the Pride to the regular season CAA title and the top seed in the conference tournament. The French setter picked up her fifth Rookie of the Week honor after amassing 9.50 assists, 2.63 digs and 0.75 blocks per set in two wins over Northeastern. Her five CAA Rookie of the Week honors are the most in the season by a freshman since Stony Brook's Kali Moore in 2022. Jioshvili-Ravva had 41 assists, 10 digs and three blocks in the four-set win and quarterbacked the Pride offense to a .303 attack percentage on Friday. She followed up with 35 assists, 11 digs and three blocks in Saturday's finale. Jioshvili-Ravva reached double figures in assists in every regular season match this year, while watching her double-double total jump to nine following the weekend slate.
