Oct. 3, 2011

Greensboro, N.C. – University of Miami senior outside hitter Lane Carico was named ACC Volleyball Player of the Week announced Monday by the Atlantic Coast Conference office in Greensboro, N.C. For Carico, the award is the third of its kind this season.

Carico helped Miami extend its winning streak to four matches and its home court winning streak to 10 straight as she registered 5.50 kills per set and 3.67 digs per set in wins over Wake Forest and Duke, respectively. The native of Manhattan Beach, Calif. hit .389 over the weekend and put down a team-high 33 kills against just five errors on 72 swings for the Canes.

She helped Miami sweep Duke and break a three-match losing skid to the Blue Devils, recording the first win over Duke since a 3-0 decision in 2008. Additionally, Carico became the school’s all-time leader in kills with 1,495, surpassing Karla Johnson for the top honor. In both matches on the weekend, Carico picked up double-doubles to extend her streak to four and increase her total to nine on the year.

The Hurricanes return to action on Friday when they take on NC State at 7:00 p.m. in Raleigh, N.C.
