ANNAPOLIS, Md. --
Jamie Llewellyn earned a pair of awards this week after pacing the Navy offense in a trio of victories during the Kristen Dickmann Invitational. For her efforts, she was named the Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA) Co-Athlete of the Week, presented by Northrop Grumman, as well as the Patriot League Volleyball Player of the Week.
This is the second week in a row in which she has earned at least a share of the NAAA Athlete of-the-Week Award. Llewellyn shares this week's accolade with Kiefer Black from the water polo team. It also marks the first time the senior has garnered the weekly nod from the league.
Llewellyn averaged a team-high 4.70 kills per set and ranked second to Navy's libero with 1.90 digs per set during the holiday weekend tournament. She also led the team with eight aces and a .326 attack percentage and ranked second with nine assists over the course of the three matches and 10 sets played.
Llewellyn began the homestand with 12 kills, a .318 hitting percentage, three aces and nine digs in Navy's 3-0 win over a Utah Valley team that ended the 2022 season ranked 95th nationally in RPI. One day later she produced 24 kills, a .475 hitting percentage and four aces in a four-set victory over Old Dominion, a team the Mids had lost to in five sets last season. Llewellyn totaled 16 of her career-high kills in sets three and four, a two-set span in which she hit .714.
She again paced the Mids with 11 kills during the team's three-set win over Maryland. The victory not only avenged a three-set loss by the Mids to the Terrapins last season, it also was the first win recorded by Navy against a team that was in the Big Ten Conference at the time of the match.
Navy, off to a 5-1 start this year, heads to California for the first time in program history this week for matches Friday (Denver, UC San Diego) and Saturday (San Diego State) at the UCSD Invitational in La Jolla.
