CHICAGO --- St. Ambrose University's Mackenzie Grafton (Orion, Ill.) and Hannah Sondag (Webster Groves, Mo.) and Judson University's Kenia Diaz Vega (Caguas, Puerto Rico) gained Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Women's Volleyball Player of the Week honors one final time in 2023, the league office announced on Wednesday afternoon. For Grafton and Sondag, it was their third time being recognized this year and their second in a row.

Grafton earned CCAC Attacker of the Week distinction after turning in a .667 hitting clip and a 5.67 kills-per-set mark in a three-set win over University of St. Francis last Thursday. The senior outside hitter totaled 17 kills against only one error in 24 total chances in the match, while also producing eight digs (2.67 avg.) and a pair of service aces.

Sondag authored a double-double en route to CCAC Setter of the Week recognition. Her 30 assists and 11 digs calculated out to 10.0 assists- and 3.67 digs-per-set averages. The graduate student also had two blocks and one service ace.

The contest against St. Francis was the only one on the week for the Fighting Bees, who finished second in the conference standings and are 17-14 heading into the semifinal round of the CCAC Tournament on Thursday.
