Lane Carico Named ACC Volleyball Player of the Week
Sept. 5, 2011
Greensboro, N.C. – University of Miami senior outside hitter Lane Carico has been selected as this week’s Atlantic Coast Conference Volleyball Player of the Week announced Monday afternoon.
A native of Manhattan Beach, Calif., Carico helped lead the Hurricanes to a 3-0 record over the weekend and the tournament title in the Pepperdine Asics Classic in Malibu, Calif. In helping the Hurricanes remain unbeaten on the year at 6-0, Carico averaged 3.10 kills and 5.00 digs in her return to her home state.
In Miami’s 3-1 title match victory over the host Pepperdine Waves, Carico – a 2010 AVCA Third Team All-American – tallied 13 kills and 20 digs en route to being named tournament MVP.
On the year, Carico owns three double-doubles and ranks third on the team with 53 kills (2.52 k/s). She is second on the squad in digs (88) and fourth in blocks (11). In her chase to become the school’s all-time leader in kills, Carico needs just 86 more to pass Karla Johnson (2002-05) atop the school’s leaderboard.
The University of Miami will return to the hardwood Thursday, Sept. 8 when hosting Florida A&M as part of the Hurricane Invitational in Coral Gables, Fla. The event will run through Saturday, Sept. 10 and take place inside the James L. Knight Sports Complex.
