A pair of New College Volleyball seniors were honored by the Sun Conference as weekly award winners for helping the Mighty Banyans earn a pair of opening week victories.

Senior libero Maria Luiza Barreis was named the Sun Conference's Defender of the Week. She totaled a team-high 44 digs on the week, which included leading the Mighty Banyans with 30 digs in a 3-1 victory over Park Gilbert (AZ) Sunday. She posted a near-perfect reception percentage of 97.5% as she had 40 receptions on the week with just one error.

Rafaela Domingos, a 2024 First-Team All Sun Conference selection, was named the Sun Conference Setter of the Week.

She logged a team-leading 81 assists for the Mighty Banyans, recording 38 in NCF's opening night win over Loyola New Orleans and 43 in Sunday's victory over Park Gilbert. 

NCF (2-0, 0-0) will be back in action at home Friday in Mighty Banyan Inventional Play, where it will first take on Ave Maria at 2 p.m. EST.
