MIAMI – FIU volleyball outside hitter Rebekah Pfefferkorn has been named the Conference USA (CUSA) Freshman of the Week, while senior Magda Stambrowska earned Defensive Player of the Week honors, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
The honors come on the heels of FIU's two-match road sweep of Liberty this past weekend, improving the Panthers to 8-2 in CUSA play and extending their conference win streak to six, the program's longest since joining the league in 2013.
Pfefferkorn collects her first career CUSA Freshman of the Week accolade after posting 38 kills over three matches last week, including back-to-back double-digit performances at Liberty.
