Last Week’s Stats: .247 hitting percentage, 4.10 points per set, 3.40 kills per set, 1.20 blocks per set, 1.00 digs per set
Correia has been on an absolute tear as of late, claiming NEC/Molten Rookie of the Week honors for the fourth time in the past five weeks, and the fifth this time season. The outside hitter/right-side put up numbers that blew all other league first-year players out of the water this past weekend. Contributing 41.0 points — an average of 4.10 per set — to LIU’s 2-1 week that featured consecutive wins over UAlbany and FDU, and a defeat to the Knights on Saturday, Correia averaged 3.40 kills, 1.20 blocks and 1.00 digs per set during that stretch. In two out of three matches, the Brazilian notched double digits in kills, including a career-best 17 in Friday’s 3-1 win at FDU. In addition, she delivered seven of her 12 blocks in that defeat of the Knights, which kept the fourth-place Sharks in contention for the No. 3 seed in the upcoming NEC Tournament. That win also extended LIU’s season-best win streak to 10. In conference play, Correia has been one of the league’s top attackers. She is ranked eighth against with a .243 hitting percentage against conference foes, while her 2.47 kills per set and 0.76 blocks per set are both good for ninth.
