BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – For the third time in five weeks, Florida Tech redshirt junior libero Angie Lassman was named Sunshine State Conference Defensive Player of the Week presented by VALIC on Monday.
The meteorology major averaged 5.2 digs per set in the Panthers’ 3-0 volleyball week, which included victories over fellow Sunshine State Conference members Saint Leo and Florida Southern.
She achieved the 20-dig plateau two times and narrowly missed a third time as she totaled 18 in a 3-0 sweep of St. Thomas on Wednesday.
Lassman helped her team earn a 3-2 win over Saint Leo on Friday by recording 29 digs.
Less than 24 hours later, FIT earned another five-set win against Florida Southern as she gathered 20 digs. Her efforts led to FIT’s three opponents hitting a combined .187.
The Panthers’ win over Saint Leo was their first in nearly seven years, while their victory against Florida Southern snapped a four-year winless streak to the Moccasins.
The Crimson and Gray will wrap up their five-game homestand, their longest of the season, this week. On Wednesday, they will play host to Rollins at 7 p.m.
On Saturday, they will welcome Lynn to the Clemente Center for a 4 p.m. match. Live video and stats will be available for both matches at FloridaTechSports.com/live.
