Cusack named Defensive Player of the Week again

Sophomore libero Elyse Cusack has

done something no one in Southeastern Conference history has ever

done. Monday, Cusack was named the SEC's Defensive Player of the

Week for the second week in a row.

Cusack, who won Defensive Player of the Year

honors in 2006, had 14 digs on Friday against Mississippi State and

a season-high 29 against Alabama Sunday afternoon.

Cusack brings Defensive Player of the Week

honors back to Gainesville for the third time in a row, as senior

middle blocker Kisya Killingsworth was given the title two weeks

ago.

Cusack ranks second in the SEC with 5.53 digs

per game.
