The Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) has announced its weekly awards following the 11th week of the 2025 women's volleyball season. Salisbury's Gwen Eustace claimed C2C Offensive Player of the Week honors, while Christopher Newport's Maddie Hanes was tabbed C2C Defensive Player of the Week.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Gwen Eustace, Salisbury

Salisbury senior Gwen Eustace went for a career-high 23 kills (4.60 K/S) at a .759 hitting percentage (1 error, 29 attempts) to help the Sea Gulls win their 12th straight match, 3-2 at Stockton, on Friday. Eustace, who leads the C2C in total kills (383), closes out the regular season as the most efficient attacker across all three NCAA divisions with a swing rate of .509.
