SEWARD, Neb. – For her efforts in leading the third-ranked Concordia University, Nebraska Volleyball team to two wins last week, freshman Myla Emery was honored on Tuesday (Oct. 20). The league office recognized Emery as the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Setter of the Week. She is the first Bulldog Volleyball player to garner a weekly award this 2026 season.
A Minden High School product, Emery has shared the setter role with sophomore Ella Brueggemann this season. This past week, Concordia earned wins over Mount Marty (home) in three sets and over College of Saint Mary (away) in four sets. In those matches, Emery helped facilitate an attack that hit .272 and averaged 13.14 kills per set. Emery tallied 40 assists (5.71 per set) and 20 digs for the week. Through 23 matches (80 sets played this season), Emery has contributed 480 assists, 192 digs and 28 aces.
Emery and the Bulldogs (20-3, 11-1 GPAC) will resume action this Saturday at No. 11 Midland (17-7, 8-4 GPAC) with first serve scheduled for 5 p.m. CT. Head Coach Ben Boldt’s squad currently resides in second place in the GPAC standings.
