Saint Leo University volleyball libero Jamee Townsend was named the Sunshine State Conference Defensive Player of the Week for matches played Aug. 29 through Sept. 4.
The senior defensive specialist wrapped up the week with a conference-leading 5.57 digs per set, helping to anchor the Lions’ back line in their 4-0 start to the season. Townsend also dished out 11 assists, and made only one service error during weekend play.
The honor marks Townsend’s first career weekly award, and the first weekly award a Saint Leo player has won since Oct. 13, 2014.
