Jackson, Mich. - Coming off a pair of wins in Marian's late-season push, the Knights' Emma Lyons has been named as the Crossroads League Volleyball Defender of the Week. The honor is the second of the season for Lyons.

Lyons averaged 6.6 digs per set to help RV Marian to a pair of four-set wins over Grace and RV Huntington. The senior libero had 29 digs against Grace and 24 against Huntington to help the Knights advance to the second round of the CL Tournament.

Lyons will eclipse 2000 career digs in the Knights' upcoming match against No. 12 Mount Vernon Nazarene, while having a chance at breaking the career record for digs in the match as well. Marian plays Mount Vernon on Wednesday night in the CL Tournament Semifinals at 7:00 p.m.
