Four New York University student-athletes have received weekly honors for their outstanding performances last week.

Both the University Athletic Association (UAA) and the Liberty League have recognized the foursome for their accomplishments.

A pair of NYU volleyball players were cited by the UAA following the Violets' victories as hosts of UAA Round Robin #2 at the Paulson Center on Sunday.  The #17-ranked Violets defeated #3 Carnegie Mellon University in a come-from-behind five-set match and also swept the University of Rochester in straight sets.

Senior Tatum Chase (Offensive) and sophomore Sienna Morales (Defensive/Setting) were selected UAA Athletes of the Week as the first-place Violets improved to 5-0 in UAA play. Chase collected 18 kills with a .417 hitting percentage while playing in all eight of NYU's sets on Sunday. She added five blocks and four digs. Morales registered 13 blocks (three solo) in the toppling of Carnegie Mellon while also tallying 10 kills (.421%) throughout the day.

Another UAA Athlete of the Week honoree was senior Maya Williams of the top-ranked NYU women's swimming and diving team. She won both diving events in the Violets' season-opening dual meet on Saturday, helping the team to a 181-62 victory over NCAA Division II West Chester University of Pennsylvania. Williams won the one-meter dive with a 267.68 score, besting the field by 20.03 points. In the three-meter dive, her 278.33 points were better than the next nearest competitor by 48.23 points.     

Freshman Bo Dong of the men's golf team was named Liberty League Rookie of the Week after finishing fifth individually at the Skidmore Invitational over the weekend. His performance helped the Violets win the 21-team tournament and establish a team record three-round score of 853 (-11), easily out-distancing second-place Middlebury College 874 (+10). Dong shot 215 (-1) overall, carding a two-under-par 70 in the final round after shooting one-over 73 in the first round and even-par 72 in the second.
