LEXINGTON, Ky. – The honors continued to roll in for Texas State freshman setter Emily DeWalt as she was named Sports Imports/American Volleyball Coaches Association Division I National Player of the Week on Tuesday afternoon.

DeWalt had double-doubles in victories over Little Rock and Arkansas State this past weekend. The Helotes, Texas, native averaged 14.00 assists/set (98) and 3.43 digs/set (24) while adding six kills, four aces and a block. She had 55 assists and 14 digs in a four-set win over the Trojans and tallied 43 assists and 10 digs in a sweep over the Red Wolves. Both assist totals were the most this season by a Sun Belt player in a three- and four-set match, respectively. For her efforts, she was named Sun Belt Setter of the Week and Freshman of the Week (sharing the honor with Coastal Carolina freshman outside hitting Anett Nemeth) for the third-straight week.

DeWalt is the fourth player in Sun Belt volleyball history to earn AVCA Division I National Player of the Week honors and the first since 2011. Previous Sun Belt winners were WKU's Amanda Schiff (Nov. 10, 2003) and Jordyn Skinner (Sept. 13, 2011) and Middle Tennessee's Ashley Adams (Sept. 6, 2005).
