NIMZ NETS 2,000 Alexandra Nimz recorded the 2,000th assist of her career in the win over Bloomfield and has 2,317 coming into the week. That tally is second all-time in SCSU history. JURGENS MAKING A STATEMENT Alexandria Jurgens has seen increased action in a setter’s role since the opening week, 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.

NIMZ NETS 2,000 Alexandra Nimz recorded the 2,000th assist of her career in the win over Bloomfield and has 2,317 coming into the week. That tally is second all-time in SCSU history. JURGENS MAKING A STATEMENT Alexandria Jurgens has seen increased action in a setter’s role since the opening week, 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.
