RICHMOND, Va. - William and Mary freshman setter Cassie Crumal has been selected as the Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Week after an impressive performance at the Tribe Classic. The honor marks the second consecutive week that Crumal has garnered the award.

En route to helping the College earn second-place honors at the Classic, Crumal averaged 12.25 assists per game and 2.33 digs per game. Additionally, she recorded a .562 hitting percentage (11-2-16).

In the Green and Gold’s 3-0 victory against East Carolina, Crumal averaged 13.3 apg and converted on all three of her attacks. The Castle Rock, Colo., native followed up that performance with a double-double against Kent State, totaling 51 assists and 15 digs.
