Volleyball's Brandewie Earns BIG EAST Honor

OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton Volleyball's Eloise Brandewie has been named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week after averaging 1.64 blocks per set in three matches against Top 15 teams. Brandewie shares the honor with Xavier's Margo Kemp.

A Columbus, Ohio native, Brandewie averaged 1.64 blocks per set and 0.64 digs per set as Creighton opened the season against one of the nation's most challenging schedules. The Ohio State transfer also averaged 1.73 kills per set on .245 hitting.

She hit a team-leading .455 in her Bluejay debut with five kills in 11 swings against defending national champion Penn State, adding a pair of blocks and a dig.

Brandewie led CU with seven blocks and added five kills against No. 5 Texas before finishing with nine kills and a career-high nine blocks in an Aug. 31 win vs. No. 14 Kansas.

Creighton will play three matches this weekend at the Trojan Invitational in Los Angeles, starting with Friday's 6 p.m. Central contest against San Diego.
