Volleyball’s Stillwell Gains Ivy Rookie of the Week for Third Time

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown University volleyball freshman Sabrina Stillwell has gained Ivy League Volleyball Rookie of the Week accolades for the third time this season, the Ivy League conference office announced on Tuesday.
A native of Laguna Beach, Calif., Stillwell recorded 5.00 kills per set on .403 hitting last weekend and landed 32 kills – the second most in a single match in school history – vs. Columbia as Brown beat Cornell (3-0) and Columbia (3-2). She has now earned Ivy Rookie of the Week honors three times in the award's first five weeks.

Against the Lions, Stillwell finished just two kills shy of the program record for kills in a match and became just the fourth Bear to record 30 or more kills in a match, fueling the Bears – who trailed 2-0 in sets – to the comeback win. She hit .466 in the match and posted seven or more kills in each of three sets. For the week, she tallied 40 kills with nine errors on 77 attempts.

For the season, Stillwell ranks second in the Ivy League with 181 total kills and stands third in the conference with 3.62 kills per set. She has posted double-digit kills in 11 of Brown's 14 matches.

Stillwell and the Bears return to action with a pair of Ivy road matches this weekend – at Harvard on Friday at 7 p.m. and at Dartmouth on Saturday at 5 p.m.
