Student-Athlete of the Week
Oct. 13, 2008
Emmanuel's senior outside hitter Lindsey Parker was named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference's (GNAC) Women's Volleyball Player of the Week on October 6th. This honor came after the New Bedford, MA native averaged 3.73 kills per set in the Saints' four matches at the Mid-Coast Classic hosted by Bates College and Bowdoin College. Parker hit .260 for the tournament and followed up her performance in Maine with a double-double in Emmanuel's exciting win over GNAC rival Rivier College on October 7th. Parker slammed down 20 kills and gathered 11 digs to lead the Saints to the 3-2 victory. In the Saints' most recent GNAC tri-match, Parker notched 16 kills in a win over Lasell and 9 kills in a loss to Emerson. She has led Emmanuel to a 4-1 mark in conference play thus far, averaging a team-high 3.09 kills per set, while hitting .231 in her 18 matches played. Parker will be looking to lead the Saints to the program's 4th GNAC Championship this fall.
