🔼 Beastin’ It Brynn. Three straight games of 20+ points will definitely turn some heads.

Adding to her Big 5 Classic MVP honors, junior forward Brynn McCurry was named the BIG EAST Player of the Week.

The Sparta, N.J., native was lights out in a 3-0 week for the Wildcats, averaging 20.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. The junior forward shot .618 percent from the field on 21-for-34 shooting, while knocking down four 3-pointers. In a dominating ranked win at No. 25 West Virginia, McCurry scored 21 points and pulled down a career-high nine rebounds, while shooting 9-of-12 from the field.

10 games into a breakout season, Brynn McCurry is on a tear for the Villanova women’s hoops team.

From her first year to this year, how many more points per game is McCurry averaging?

🔼 National Notoriety. A 3-0 week, which included a top-25 upset, a conference road win and a Big 5 Classic Title… not too shabby.

🔼 Region’s Best. Add a few more lines to their resumes!

This week, Villanova volleyball picked up a pair of All-Region honors on Tuesday morning from the American Volleyball Coaches Association as junior hitter Abby Harrell earned an accolade on the East Coast team and sophomore middle Campbell McKinnon was designated an honorable mention recipient.

The two become just the ninth and 10th Wildcats ever to be named on the AVCA All-Region lists, following a season where both were selected as unanimous All-BIG EAST.

Harrell's East Coast All-Region nod is just the seventh time ever and first since 2015 that a Villanovan has been named to the top AVCA All-Region team.
