ROSEMONT, Ill. - After an impressive week in conference action, which featured a win over No. 15 Purdue and a dominant sweep of Michigan, junior setter Camryn Haworth and freshman libero Ramsey Gary both took home Big Ten Weekly Honors, as announced by the conference office on Monday afternoon (Oct. 16).
Haworth took home Big Ten Setter of the Week laurels for the third time in her career and second time this season. Gary grabs her first conference honor, earning the nod as the Big Ten Freshman of the Week. Gary is the first defensive player to earn freshman of the week honors this year.
Both Hoosiers were fantastic in a pair of home wins, 3-1 vs. No. 15 Purdue and 3-0 vs. Michigan, as IU extended its winning streak out to three games. IU is 5-3 in the Big Ten for the first time in 30 years.
Haworth ran an offense that hit a collective .301 across seven sets last week, highlighted by a dominant offensive performance (.330, 41-8-100) against Michigan. The junior helped spark a career-high 18 kills for sophomore outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles on Saturday night and led IU to its first win over Purdue since 2012.
The Fishers, Ind. native finished just shy of her second-career triple-double on Wednesday night, compiling 40 assists, nine digs and eight kills in a brilliant all-around effort. She had five service aces on the weekend, pushing her to 49 total aces on the season. She is just three shy of breaking IU's single-season record in the rally era.
She is the first IU player to win the same Big Ten award twice in the same season since Ashley Benson won a pair of defensive player of the week honors in 2010. Haworth and Nebraska freshman Bergen Reilly are the only two Big Ten setters to win the award twice this season.
One of the top freshmen in the conference and the nation, Gary gets the nod as the Big Ten Freshman of the Week after sparking a strong defensive performance for the Hoosiers.
She recorded 43 digs across seven sets (6.1 per set) while adding nine assists and two service aces in a pair of victories. The Pendleton, Ind. native is averaging 4.72 digs per set in Big Ten play and has four 20+ dig performances in eight conference matches.
Gary is the first IU player since February of 2021 to win Big Ten Freshman of the Week and just the fifth Hoosier to win the award since the conference began handing it out in 2009. She is one of just four freshmen (Reilly, Nebraska's Harper Murray and Purdue's Chloe Chicoine) to win it this year.
The pair of Hoosiers look to continue IU's outstanding start to the season this week with matchups at Purdue (Oct. 18) and vs. Ohio State (Oct. 21).
