CONWAY, Ark. – After a two-game swing down in Florida, junior libero Alexis McDaniel was named the ASUN Defensive Player of the Week, the fourth weekly award of her career.
 
McDaniel has played a big role in the Sugar Bears being a top-tier team in the ASUN this season, and this past week was no different. Over nine sets last week, the junior logged 49 digs, averaging over five per set. She led the Sugar Bears in both matches, recording 25 against Stetson and 24 against FGCU.
 
The libero leads Central Arkansas in digs this season, racking up 305 over 70 sets this season, ranking fifth in the ASUN. She has also contributed 71 assists and 14 service aces this season, helping the Sugar Bears to a 7-1 ASUN record.
 
McDaniel and the Sugar Bears are back at home this weekend, hosting Queens and West Georgia in ASUN action. Central Arkansas will kick the weekend off on Friday, hosting the Royals at 6 p.m., followed by a Sunday showdown with the Wolves at 1 p.m.
