CCAA Defensive Player of the Week
Cal State San Bernardino libero
Makena Overbey has been named this week's Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week, for the week of Oct. 3-9.
Overbey tallied 43 digs in nine sets in No. 15 CSUSB's two wins over 17th ranked Cal Poly Pomona, snapping the Broncos' 14-match winning streak. The senior from Fontana helped limit Cal Poly Pomona to its lowest hitting percentages of the season of .167 and .145 in back-to-back nights.
Friday in San Bernardino, Overbey had 15 digs with five assists in the Yotes' five-set win. The following evening in Pomona, she picked up 28 digs in the four-set win. Her 28 digs in a four-set match ties for the best this season in the CCAA — a figure Overbey has posted twice.
Overbey, who averaged 4.78 digs per set against Pomona, is now third in the CCAA with 4.38 digs per set.

Friday night in San Bernardino, Nunley dished 39 assists with 11 digs plus three blocks, two aces and was 4-0-4 in attacking to lead CSUSB over Cal Poly Pomona.
