NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana volleyball sophomores Eva Le Guillou and Vivica Price-Spraggins are recipients of Gulf Coast Athletic Conference weekly awards for Aug. 27-Sept. 2. Le Guillou is Setter of the Week, and Price-Spraggins is Defender of the Week.
     Both honors were announced Tuesday.
     Le Guillou, from Velizy-Villacoublay, France, produced 152 assists, 33 digs, 12 blocks and six aces in four matches at XULA's Big Easy Blastoff. She had three consecutive assist-dig double-doubles, and she served a career-high-tying four aces in a victory against Point. Her nine total blocks Saturday in victories against Martin Methodist and Webber International were one more than the first 32 matches of her XULA career.
     Price-Spraggins, from Chicago and a graduate of Whitney Young Magnet High School, recorded eight blocks three times in 31 hours at the Big Easy Blastoff. In a victory against Webber International (2017 NAIA nationals qualifier), she became the first XULA player to reach eight blocks in a three-set match. Price-Spraggins also sparkled offensively during the four matches, hitting .554 with 44 kills and only three errors in 74 attacks.
     Le Guillou has won both GCAC Setter of the Week awards this season, and she has five in her career. Price-Spraggins's award was her first this season and the second of her career.
     XULA (6-2) will compete Friday and Saturday in Alabama at the University of Mobile Invitational. Its Tuesday home match against Tougaloo was postponed until Oct. 15 due to the approach of Tropical Storm Gordon.
