ST. LOUIS, Mo. After a career-high performance last weekend against Loyola, junior Meg Viggars was named Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced Monday.
In Southern Illinois’ 3-2 victory over Loyola on Friday to move into second place in the Valley standings, Viggars finished with a career-high 14 blocks, including two solo, which ranks third all-time at SIU for most block assists in a single match.
Her three block assists in Saturday’s match against Bradley puts Viggars at 100 block assists this season. Viggars also added 18 digs and three service aces to the Salukis’ efforts, along with 60 total assists. Last weekend’s performances puts Viggars in fourth place in the MVC for blocks, averaging 1.04 per set.
Viggars has consistently produced impressive results for the Salukis in every statistical category this season, ranking in the top three on the team for each stat. In Friday’s match against Loyola, Viggars was only three kills and two digs away from securing a quadruple double, a feat that was accomplished for the first time since 2010 this season by Colorado State’s Adrianna Culbert. Overall, Viggars averages 2.16 kills, 5.56 assists, 0.17 aces, 2.39 digs and 1.04 blocks per set.
