The Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) has announced its weekly awards following the ninth week of the 2025 women's volleyball season. Salisbury's Gwen Eustace earned C2C Offensive Player of the Week honors, while Christopher Newport's Alyssa Dozier took home C2C Defensive Player of the Week recognition.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Gwen Eustace, Salisbury

Salisbury senior Gwen Eustace registered 38 kills (4.22 K/S) against just two errors over three matches, hitting an unfathomable .679 to help the Sea Gulls sweep a trio of matches against Marymount (Va.), Arcadia, and York (Pa.). In Saturday's matchup with Arcadia, Eustace powered down 16 kills with no errors, including 10 in the decisive fourth set and to account for SU's final seven points of the match. Eustace is swinging .497 for the season, far and away the best clip in Division III.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Alyssa Dozier, Christopher Newport

Christopher Newport senior Alyssa Dozier helped lift the Captains to a 3-0 win at Marymount in their lone match of the week. Defensively, Dozier was just one rejection shy of her season high and finished with nine blocks (3 solo, 6 assisted). She led the team with 10 kills on 22 attempts for a .364 attack percentage. She added one assist and one dig while leading the way for CNU.
