The HFU volleyball team received two of the four Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) weekly awards on Tuesday, as Faith Zehnder (Lakewood, Colo./Lakewood) was named Defensive Player of the Week and Isabella Mosquera (West Chicago, Ill./Saint Charles East) was selected as the Rookie of the Week.
 
Zehnder is now a four-time CACC Defensive Player of the Week, while Mosquera receives her first career weekly honor from the league. 
 
Zehnder averaged 5.22 digs per set across three matches last week, posting a match-high in two of them. 
 
After beginning the week with seven at unbeaten West Chester on Tuesday, the junior totaled 40 in just six sets of a tri-match on Saturday.
 
Zehnder had nine more digs than any other player with 24, two shy of her career-high, in the opener versus Kutztown, before adding 16 in the nightcap, HFU's first win of the season over Southern Connecticut State.  
 
Mosquera led all three matches in blocks last week, averaging 1.78 per set while also contributing 2.89 kills per set on .370 hitting.
 
The freshman began the week with four blocks, three of which were solo, while tying a season-best with six kills on .417 hitting at West Chester. 
 
Then making her home debut on Saturday, Mosquera fell one kill shy of back-to-back double-digit performances. 
 
She first led the Tigers with season-bests of 11 kills on a match-high .360 hitting percentage and five blocks versus Kutztown. 
 
Mosquera then set a new season-best in blocks for the second time on the day with a match-high seven in HFU's first win of the season.
