LOS ANGELES โย UCLA women's volleyball saw middle blocker Marianna Singletary and setter Kate Duffey earn Big Ten weekly recognition after the Bruins' back-to-back ranked sweeps.ย

Singletary was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after anchoring UCLA's defense, averaging a formidable 2.00 blocks per set across the two-match stretch. She racked up 12 total blocks, including one solo, while adding 14 kills on an impressive .400 hitting percentage to round out a dominant all-around performance. This is Singletary's fourth career conference weekly honor. The Charleston, S.C. native won three consecutive SEC Defensive Player of the Week awards last season at Texas.

Duffey garnered Big Ten Setter of the Week honors after orchestrating UCLA's offensive dominance by dishing out 66 assists in the team's back-to-back ranked sweeps. She went for 36 assists and nine digs in an excellent performance at No. 14 Minnesota and followed that up with her fourth double-double of the season, handing out 30 assists and snuffing out 11 digs against No. 22 USC. Defensively, she totaled five blocks and 20 digs. This is the first weekly honor of Duffey's career.
