Last Week’s Stats: 4.75 digs per set
Colon pushed her league-leading weekly award count to three after she notched 4.75 digs per set in LIU’s 3-1 defeat to Binghamton. The veteran from Puerto Rico compiled 19 digs to pace the Sharks in the defeat. Colon, who has set single-game best marks in digs in three, four and five set matches this season, enters NEC play as the league’s top libero. With a conference-best 239 digs, she also sits atop the statistics in digs per set with 4.69. LIU has had a stranglehold on the NEC/Molten Women’s Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week award this season. The Sharks have claimed the honor four out of a possible five times, with Colon garnering the distinction on Sept. 4, Sept. 17 and Oct. 1, and graduate middle hitter Bria Plante claiming the award on Sept. 24.
