For the second time this season, Georgia Tech senior right-side hitter Mariana Brambilla earned Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week honors.
An Oct. 26 press release issued by the school said Brambilla garnered the accolade after she lead the No. 14 Yellowjackets to another undefeated weekend on the road in conference play.
"Brambilla kicked off the weekend by tying her season high of 23 kills behind a .341 clip, including an ace, to lead the team while pitching in eight digs and a pair of blocks defensively to power Tech over Syracuse," the release said.
It added that the 5-foot-11 Porto Alegre, Brazil, native’s 23 kills are tied for the fifth most in any match and the most in a four-set match in the ACC this season.
The first time Brambilla was named ACC Player of the Week this season was in late September when the Yellowjackets swept ACC rivals Wake Forest and Virginia Tech.
She has been named player of the week six times in her whole collegiate career, according to the release.
On the season, Brambilla ranks in the top five in the ACC in four categories – third in kills per set (4.10), fourth in points per set (4.58), fourth in kills (291) and fourth in points (325.5).
