In a notable achievement for St. Mary’s College of Maryland, junior captain Julia Bobrowski has been honored as the United East Conference Women’s Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week, the first from the college to receive this accolade in 2024. The announcement came on Monday afternoon.
Bobrowski, an outside hitter standing 5 feet 6 inches tall, showcased her defensive skills across four matches last week, contributing significantly to the team’s mixed results. The Seahawks managed a split, securing victories against Mary Baldwin University and Averett University, while facing setbacks against Southern Virginia University and Washington and Lee University.
Throughout these contests, Bobrowski amassed impressive statistics including 49 digs, 42 points, 31 kills, and seven blocks, featuring both solo and assist efforts. Her standout performance also earned her a spot on the All-Tournament Team during the weekend matches hosted by Washington and Lee.
The week began with a sweeping victory over Mary Baldwin University on September 3, where Bobrowski recorded 13 digs, 6.5 points, and three kills, alongside her season-best three service aces. Despite losses to Southern Virginia and Washington and Lee, she continued to perform well, notching a season-high 16 digs against Washington and Lee and contributing significantly in all facets of the game.
The highlight of her week came in the five-set victory over Averett University on September 7. Bobrowski achieved her first triple-double of the season, delivering a career-high 17 points, 13 digs, and 11 kills. Additionally, she set a personal record with five total blocks and matched her season-high in service aces.
St. Mary’s College, now holding a 3-3 record, looks forward to continuing its campaign as the Seahawks prepare to face Bridgewater College in Virginia on September 11.
Other recipients of the United East Conference Women’s Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week in 2024 include Ellise Everett of Cedar Crest, who was honored on September 2.
