CENTERVILLE, MASS. – On the heels of receiving BIG EAST Player of the Week honors on Monday, senior Cheryl Cobbina has been named the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division I Player of the Week, the conference announced Wednesday. Cobbina’s team-high 63 kills and 4.50 kills per game average paced the Orange in four victories. Syracuse is currently riding a season-best six-match win streak.
Cobbina has led the Orange or shared the team-lead in kills in each of the last 12 matches. Cobbina powered the SU offense in a non-conference sweep against Colgate (3-1) and Cornell (3-1). The senior outside hitter collected a club-best 22 kills and posted a .341 attack percentage against the Red Raiders. Cobbina responded in pairing a team-best 13 kills with 14 digs against the Big Red for her 11th double-double of the season.
With two three-game sweeps against BIG EAST foes West Virginia and Pittsburgh, the Orange ranks in a three-way tie, with South Florida and Cincinnati, for the conference tournament’s five seed. Against the Mountaineers, Cobbina led the Syracuse charge with 14 kills while adding nine digs in head coach Jing Pu’s 400th career coaching victory. Cobbina totaled her team-leading 12th double-double of the season after collecting 14 kills and 12 digs against the Panthers.
Cobbina leads the Orange attack with 393 kills and a career-best 4.01 kills per game average. Cobbina ranks fifth and sixth all-time with a 3.43 kills per game average and 1,314 career kills, respectively.
Syracuse (18-10, 6-4) continues a four-match BIG EAST road swing on Saturday, November 3 against No. 23 St. John’s at 2:00 p.m.
