LA MIRADA, Calif. --- After helping lead No. 1 Biola Volleyball to two Golden State Athletic Conference three-set victories Alex Brehaut was rewarded with the GSAC Defender of the Week award for games played between Sept. 14-20.
 
Brehaut combined solid receiving numbers with great serving numbers to help her walk away with her first career weekly conference honor.
 
She posted a combined 17 digs in the 3-0 victories over William Jessup and Menlo College and had 11 receptions with just one receiving error for a .909 reception percentage on the weekend.
 
She led the team with five service aces and had just two errors in 32 attempts to help the Eagles as they out served their opponents 18 aces to 11.
 
The senior defensive specialist is second on the team this season with 93 digs and averages 2.27 digs-per-set through the first 12 matches of the year. That digs-per-set average went up by more than half a point in the two matches this weekend.
 
She and the Eagles are 12-0 (4-0 GSAC) and have won eight games in a row in straight sets. The team gets back into its conference schedule this week with home matches against No. 18 Westmont and The Master's College on Tuesday and Saturday night.

Student-athletes are nominated for weekly conference awards by the sports information director at their given institution. A committee of conference SIDs then vote for the weekly winners. Fall awards include men and women's soccer offensive and defensive player of the week and volleyball attacker, defender and setter of the week.
