BOSTON -- After a dominant sweep of visiting NJIT on Friday,
Aysia Miller and
Hannah Dobbs received accolades from the America East, the Conference announced on Tuesday.
Miller was named Defensive Specialist of the Week, while Dobbs earned Rookie of the Week.Â
Dobbs had 12 kills and eight digs in a three-set sweep of NJIT, to earn her second-career #AEVB Rookie of the Week honor.
Miller totaled 22 digs in UMBC's sweep of NJIT. The 22 digs are the most in a three-set conference match this season, and this is her third #AEVB Defensive Specialist honor of the season.
The Retrievers have a pair of matches in the penultimate weekend of the season as they play at Binghamton on Friday night before hosting Bryant for senior day on Sunday at 1 p.m.
UMBC swept Binghamton at The Peake earlier this season, but dropped a five-set heartbreaker at Bryant last month.Â
