NACOGDOCHES - After recording her first career triple-double and the first in two years for SFA, sophomore JJ Jones has been named the CVU.com National Player of the Week, announced the Collegiate Volleyball Update Tuesday afternoon. This is the first time a Southland Conference player has been given the honor.
Jones' triple-double came in the season finale at McNeese State when she recorded 10 kills, 55 assists and 13 digs and had a .529 hitting percentage in the match. For the week, she totaled 19 kills with a .357 hitting percentage, 133 assists, 34 digs, and 12 blocks.
