Creighton's Keeley Davis Named Sports Imports/AVCA Player of the Week
NEW YORK -- For the first time since 2017, a BIG EAST student-athlete has been named Sports Imports/AVCA Player of the Week. Keeley Davis of Creighton earns national recognition after a standout week including a 31-kill performance in a win over then-No. 10 Marquette. The rookie also earned this week's BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week award in addition to her sixth-consecutive Freshman of the Week honor.
Davis led all BIG EAST players with 4.75 kills per set, hitting .370 to help Creighton to a 2-0 road trip with wins at DePaul and then-No. 10 Marquette. The rookie out of Highlands Ranch, Colo., posted seven kills, five digs and an ace in a 3-0 win at DePaul. In the Bluejays' top-15 showdown at then-No. 10 Marquette, Davis exploded for a BIG EAST season-high 31 kills to lead Creighton to a 3-2 victory. The outside hitter added seven digs, two aces and a block to complete an all-around performance for the Bluejays. Davis' 31 kills against Marquette marked the most of any BIG EAST player since 2016 and was just one short of tying Creighton's program-record.
