EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana senior middle blocker Danielle LaGrange has been named the Baden/Great Lakes Valley Conference Volleyball Player of the Week for the second time this season after leading the Screaming Eagles to three wins last week and into a tie atop the GLVC standings.

LaGrange, a kinesiology major and graduate of Heritage Hills High School, averaged 5.60 points, 4.90 kills, 1.00 blocks, and 1.60 digs per set as the Eagles posted wins over McKendree University, Saint Joseph's College, and No. 21 University of Indianapolis. She also attacked at a .415 clip and added a pair of service aces to her yearly total.

In USI's sweep of McKendree last Tuesday, LaGrange hit .600 and posted 18 kills, six digs, and three assists. She became the 11th member of USI's 1,000-kill club Friday night as she racked up 15 kills, a .370 attacking percentage, four digs, two blocks, and a pair of aces in USI's sweep of Saint Joseph's.

LaGrange concluded the weekend by racking up 16 kills, eight blocks, six digs, and a .297 attacking clip in USI's four-set victory over UIndy. The win was USI's first over the Greyhounds since the 2005 season.

For the year, LaGrange is averaging a team-best 4.59 points on a team-high 3.84 kills and 0.87 blocks per set. She leads the Eagles and ranks fifth in the GLVC with a .332 hitting percentage. LaGrange also is ranked second in the league in points per set, fourth in kills per set, and 10th in blocks per set.

USI, which has won nine of its last 11 matches and its last seven GLVC contests, returns to action Tuesday at 7 p.m. when it hosts Kentucky Wesleyan College at the Physical Activities Center.

The Eagles defeated Kentucky Wesleyan (6-19, 0-13 GLVC) in three sets earlier this season in Owensboro, Kentucky. The Panthers have lost two straight matches after sweeping Lake Erie College at the GLIAC/GLVC Crossover two weekends ago.
