SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford volleyball player Mary Emily Morgan has been named the Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week for all competition from Nov. 15 - 21.  The selection is made by the conference office.

Morgan was a major piece of Wofford’s SoCon Tournament victory, totaling 29 kills at a rate of 2.42 per set over three matches. The Atlanta, Georgia, native added 33 digs for an average of 2.75 per set and was second on the team in both kills and digs during the tournament.
