LEWISBURG, Pa.- Bucknell volleyball enjoyed a 2-0 weekend with crucial wins over Loyola (Md.) and Navy to move into a tie for fourth place in the Patriot League. The conference voters awarded the Bison by naming Klea Tarja Player of the Week, as announced Tuesday by the league office. It is Tarja's first weekly award.Â
Tarja led Bucknell in kills (35) and points (39) to headline the 2-0 weekend. Defensively, she supplied 27 digs, second highest on the team. She averaged 5.00 kills per set and 3.86 digs per set.Â
In Friday's night win versus Loyola (Md.), Tarja starred with 24 kills, setting a new career-high, and shattering her old mark of 13 kills. She added 17 digs, as part of her all-around effort. Her 26.5 points were fifth-highest in the NCAA on Oct. 30.Â
In Saturday's sweep over Navy, she posted 11 kills and shoveled ten digs for another double-double.Â
Tarja has posted four consecutive games of double-digit kills and five straight matches of double-digit digs. The sophomore was inserted into the starting assignment five matches ago and has powered Bucknell to a 3-2 record. The outside hitter has totaled 67 kills and 75 digs in her five starts.Â
For the season, Tarja has 99 kills (2.41 kills per set) and 93 digs (2.27 digs per set).Â
Bucknell travels to New York this weekend to face Army (Nov. 6) and Colgate (Nov. 7) in two pivotal matches.Â
