JURGENS MAKING A STATEMENT Alexandria Jurgens has seen increased action in a setter’s role over the past few weeks, and has fared well in that role. In fact, she narrowly missed her second career triple-double in the matches against LIU-Post and Molloy. Jurgens posted eight kills along with 17 assists and 13 digs against LIU-Post and had seven kills, 17 assists and 14 digs against Molloy. Jurgens is the last Owl to record a triple-double, posting a line of 11 kills, 19 assists and 12 digs in a win over LeMoyne on Oct. 8, 2016.

JADUS NAMED NE10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK Leanna Jadus powered the Owls to a 3-0 opening week with triumphs over Bridgeport, Dominican and Georgian Court, posting two double-doubles in the process. For her efforts, she was named the NE10 Player of the Week. She averaged 4.22 kills and 3.78 digs per set while also hitting at a .281 clip. Jadus led the Owls in kills against Dominican and had doubledoubles against Bridgeport and Georgian Court. GAGE MAKES AN IMPACT Junior transfer Alyssa Gage fit right into the Owls’ rotation during the opening weekend. She posted a team-high .452 hitting percentage in the Owls’ three wins, including a perfect 1.000 (7-for-7) mark in the opening win over Dominican, which established a new SCSU single-game record (min. 7 kills). OFF AND RUNNING The 4-0 start for the Owls was Southern’s first since the 2009 season. That squad set a program record for consecutive wins to start a campaign with 13. IT’S BEEN A WHILE Southern’s win over Bridgeport on Sept. 3 was the Owls’ first over the Purple Knights since the 1999 season. JURGENS HITS HALF-MILENNIUM MARK Alexandria Jurgens tallied her 500th career kill in the win over Georgian Court on Sept. 3. JADUS MOVES UP THE CHARTS Leanna Jadus is now in fifth place in program history in career attempts with 2,482. Next up is Kristen Wynus, who had 2,671 as an Owl. A GOOD WAY TO START The Owls have a pair of four-game homestands during the course of the 2017 season, including the opening four contests. The second four-game homestand will take place later in September with matches against New Haven, Concordia, New York Tech and Wilmington.
