BALTIMORE – Paulina Hernandez's performance over the past week has earned the sophomore CSAC Defensive Player of the Week as announced by the league on Monday. Notre Dame (Md.) volleyball craved two impressive wins behind Hernandez's strong showing on both ends for the Gators. After scoring 13 kills and 18 digs in front of the Gators home crowd in NDMU's 3-1 win over Penn State York, Hernandez's stout defensive returns helped Notre Dame (Md.) to a five-set 3-2 win against Gwynedd Mercy. She had 26 digs in the win.
 

Kayla Grube makes her second appearance on the CSAC Weekly Honor Roll after her two-goal performance in Notre Dame's 4-0 win in its conference opener against Saint Elizabeth University. Grube last made the Honor Roll on Sept. 9. Grube scored her first goal on a one-touch left-footed shot after a long pass from Roselynn Kamara.  Her second goal came when she broke free on a pass from Sara Morales at the midfield to put the Gators up 3-0.
