CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- UNC Asheville's Cindi Miller has been named the Big South Conference Choice Hotels Player of the Week in volleyball, while Loren Thomas of Liberty was tabbed the Freshman of the Week.  Coastal Carolina's Jill Nyhof picked up Defensive Player of the Week honors, the League announced today.

Miller, a sophomore from Decatur, Ind., hit .387 and averaged 4.0 kills per game to lead her Bulldogs to a 3-0 record in League play and sole possession of the No. 1 spot in the Big South.  She got her week started with nine kills and two blocks as the Bulldogs downed Presbyterian College, 3-0 on Oct. 6.  Three days later at home against High Point, Miller connected on 50 percent of her attacks to finish with nine kills and one dig in Asheville's 3-0 win over the Panthers.  The next day in a battle of Big South unbeatens, Miller exploded for a career-high 22 kills, while hitting 50 percent with three blocks and two digs as the Bulldogs picked up the 3-1 win over Liberty.

It is Miller's first Player of the Week honor and she is second Bulldog to win the award this season. The Bulldogs will travel to Winthrop and Coastal Carolina this weekend in a pair of key Big South matches.
