Chaminade outside hitter Emma Tecklenburg was named the PacWest volleyball player of the week and Hawaii Hilo libero Mina Grant the defender of the week, the conference announced Monday.

Tecklenburg, a 5-foot-11 junior from Plano, Texas, recorded 28 kills, 15 digs and four blocks in victories over Simon Fraser and Saint Martin’s during the weather-shortened First Hawaiian Bank Volleyball Challenge in Hilo.

Grant, a 5-7 senior from Los Angeles, combined for 41 digs in a victory over Saint Martin’s and a loss to UC San Diego at the Hilo tournament.
