NEW ORLEANS — Eva Le Guillou did something Tuesday that no Xavier University of Louisiana student-athlete has done previously. She's the first from XULA to win seven Gulf Coast Athletic Conference weekly awards in one season.
     Le Guillou was chosen the GCAC's Setter of the Week in volleyball for Oct. 22-28 after producing 40 assists, four aces and six digs in victories against conference opponents Philander Smith and Talladega. A sophomore from Velizy-Villacoublay, France, Le Guillou climbed to No. 4 on the school's all-time season list with 836 assists. She served a match- and career-high-tying four aces against Talladega.
     Le Guillou has since increased her season assist total to 870, which ranks third at XULA.
     Seven from XULA won six GCAC weekly awards in a season: Anna Dalla Vecchia (2017) and Tiffany Phillips (2016) in volleyball, Justyce Riggs (2018) in women's track, Devinn Rolland (2013) in women's field, Nour Abbes (2014) in women's tennis and Christopher August (2016) and Kwame Jackson (2014) in men's cross country.
     Le Guillou has 10 career GCAC weekly awards, one fewer than Phillips's program record of 11.
     XULA and Tougaloo, both 12-0 in the GCAC, will meet at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at XULA's Convocation Center. Admission will be free for all. The winner will clinch a tie for the GCAC regular-season championship.
