NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk State's Gabrielle Gilbert has been named the MEAC Volleyball Player of the Week for the second consecutive week, the conference announced Monday. It is Gilbert's fourth weekly award of the season and her second set of back-to-back selections.

Gilbert, a senior outside hitter/opposite from Indianapolis, totaled 38 kills across seven sets while averaging 5.43 kills and 5.79 points per set on a .435 hitting percentage. She finished the two-match stretch with 40.5 points, nine assists, eight digs and three blocks, and reached at least 16 kills in both matches.
