Smith earns NEC Co-Rookie of the Week distinction after she posted a .563 hitting percentage in a three-set sweep of St. Francis Brooklyn on Friday. The freshman outside hitter compiled 11 kills, marking the fifth time this season and the third time in as many matches that she reaches double figures in the category. A native of Castle Rock, CO, Smiths 3.58 kills per set against league opponents are good for third in the conference rankings. This is her second NEC Rookie of the Week honor of 2022.
