Sam Houston junior setter Tayler Gray has been named as Southland Conference volleyball "Defensive Player of the Week" after leading the first place Bearkats to a pair of home victories.

Gray produced her 19th and 20th double double of the season as Sam Houston State earned sweeps against Southeastern Louisiana and Nicholls State.

The junior from Huntsville, Texas (Huntsville H.S.) averaged 4.5 digs per set over the week while assisting on 71 of Sam Houston's 90 kills. The junior sits second in the Southland with 10.76 assists per set while the Bearkats are on a 13-match win streak; which is the longest in Sam Houston history since it joined Division I.

Sam Houston's Deveney Wells-Gibson took honorable mention honors for Southland "Offensive Player of the Week".

The Bearkats have three matches remaining in the regular season with two this week at home at Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum.

Sam Houston travels to Northwestern State Tuesday night, plays host to McNeese State Thursday, and finishes the season at home against Lamar at 3 p.m.
