After etching her name in the Brown record books in a loss to Yale on Saturday, volleyball middle blocker Danielle Vaughan '11 has been named the Ivy League's Co-Rookie of the Week.
Vaughan tied Brown's record for fifth-best blocks-per-game average, with seven blocks in the 3-0 loss.
"I found out (about the record) on the bus ride back," Vaughan said. "My coach said, 'I need to talk to you,' and I was actually a little nervous because I had a couple unforced errors in the game, and then she told me I set the record. I've never set a record before!"
Vaughan also had eight kills in the match and finished with a match-high .429 hitting percentage. Vaughan currently leads the Bears with a .274 hitting percentage and 39 blocks.
The award comes a week after Vaughan lead the Bears to a 3-0 sweep of the University of Rhode Island last week. In that Sept. 26 match, she had six kills, three blocks and three service aces.
Vaughan is the second volleyball player to receive the honor this season. Megan Toman '11 was also Rookie of Week last month.
