Bowen, Thatcher & Torain Earn Big South Weekly Honors

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- Winthrop University volleyball players KeAra Bowen, Lexi Thatcher, and Addison Torain were all honored with Big South Conference Weekly Awards, the conference office announced on Monday afternoon. 

Bowen was tabbed with Player of the Week, the first of her career and the second time an Eagle has won the award this year. 

Thatcher earned her fourth Setter of the Week award on the year, after winning it twice during September and once during the week of Oct. 5 earlier this month. 

Torain earned her third Libero of the Week honor, after winning in back-to-back weeks earlier in the season. 

Bowen was instrumental in the Eagles' 2-0 week, filling in at middle blocker due to injury. She totaled 21 kills on 36 attempts for a .528 hitting percentage and added three blocks. Bowen opened the week with 10 kills on .471 hitting against UNC Asheville, committing just two errors on 17 attacks. She followed that with a perfect match against USC Upstate, recording 11 kills on .579 hitting with no errors, along with four digs and two blocks. Her .528 mark led the Big South for the week by .100, and she also ranked 10th in the conference in kills per set at 2.63 and 10th in points per set at 3.13. 

Thatcher led the Eagles to an undefeated week, opening with a season-high 53 assists, 12 digs and five kills in a five-set win over UNC Asheville for her eighth double-double of the season. She followed with 36 assists and 13 digs in a three-set win over USC Upstate on Saturday for her ninth double-double. Thatcher led the Big South in total assists with 89 and in assists per set at 11.13. Her 53 assists were the most in any conference match on the week, and her 36 assists against USC Upstate were the most in a three-set match. Winthrop hit .237 as a team, the fourth-highest mark in the Big South. 

Torain was once again all over the court for the Eagles, helping them to a 2-0 week. She totaled 32 digs and committed no errors in 31 serve receive attempts. Torain opened the week with 17 digs in a five-set win over UNC Asheville on Friday, then added 15 digs in a three-set win over USC Upstate on Saturday. Her 4.00 digs per set ranked fourth in the Big South on the week.
