Freshman Julie Lauro of the Muhlenberg volleyball team has been named player of the week by the Centennial Conference.

Lauro was honored after averaging 5.00 kills and 3.57 digs to lead the Mules to wins against Bryn Mawr and McDaniel in their first two CC matches of the season. She had 23 kills (two short of the school record she set earlier this year), 15 digs and four blocks in the McDaniel match, as Muhlenberg avenged one of its two CC losses from last year.

Lauro also posted 18 kills with only three errors in a loss to Moravian. For the season, she leads the Mules in kills (3.48 per game), hitting percentage (.260), digs (2.16 per game) and service aces (41) and is second with 37 blocks. With the season only half completed, Lauro’s total of 223 kills is already tied for 14th on the team’s all-time single-season list.
