CLINTON, S.C. — Presbyterian College volleyball player Courtney Williams has been named the Big South Player of the Week, the league announced Monday, after a big final home weekend for the Blue Hose in Clinton, South Carolina.
Williams opened Senior Weekend on Friday night against USC Upstate with 13 kills and committed only one attack error, finishing at a .333 clip. The Spartans still took that match in three sets, 25-15, 26-24, 25-22, at the Templeton Center.
She was even better Saturday. Williams tied her season bests with 18 kills and six blocks as PC outlasted UNC Asheville, taking the fifth set 15-11 after the teams split the first four. The Blue Hose closed it out by taking five of the last six rallies and finished with 18 blocks, a program record for a single match in the Division I era.
Williams was one of eight seniors honored before that match. She leads the team this season with 242 kills, 2.42 kills per set and 289 points, and her 80 blocks rank second on the roster. That works out to 0.80 blocks per set, good for 10th in the league.
The award is the first weekly conference honor of her career. No Presbyterian player had been named Big South Player of the Week since Oct. 28, 2024, and it is the second weekly league honor for the program this season. The win over Asheville moved PC to 9-18 overall and 3-10 in conference play.
