Coral Gables, Fla. (www.hurricanesports.com) – UM freshman middle blocker Karla Johnson (Houston, Texas/Westfield HS) was selected as the BIG EAST Conference Co-Rookie of the Week for the second time this season Monday.
During a week in which the Hurricanes rebounded from their first loss of the season by sweeping both Rutgers and Seton Hall, Johnson knocked in 12 kills in both games and was a force at the net with six blocks against the Scarlet Knights and five against the Pirates.
Johnson was also Co-Rookie of the Week for the week of September 30.
