INDIANAPOLIS — After turning in standout performances in a pair of Drury volleyball victories over the weekend, Panthers junior Jacy Bray and sophomore Skylar Hilton have been honored as Athletic Solutions Great Lakes Valley Conference Setter and Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, the league office announced Monday.
 
Bray delivered a pair of double-doubles in helping Drury extend its GLVC win streak to five straight matches with victories over Truman State and Upper Iowa. The Nixa, Mo., product totaled 46 assists and 23 digs, as well as four kills and three blocks in DU's four-set win over Truman to open the weekend. Bray's 46-assist effort marked the fourth time this season she has topped the 40-assist plateau and her dig total fell just one shy of her career best. Against Upper Iowa, Bray recorded 30 assists, 14 digs and four kills as part of her 13th double-double of the season in the Panthers' straight-set victory Saturday.

For the week, Bray totaled 76 assists (10.86 per set) and 37 digs (5.29) for the Panthers, who matched their 2025 season and GLVC win totals with Saturday's victory. The honor is the second GLVC Setter of the Week citation for Bray, who was selected for the same award earlier this season for the week on Sept. 8.

Hilton was a force for the Panthers last week in all phases of the game, matching her 2026 high for blocks (8) while logging a career-best eight digs in DU's four-set victory over Truman. The Ozark, Mo., native added 12 kills with a .407 hitting percentage in the win. She followed that effort with five kills and four blocks in DU's sweep of Upper Iowa.

Hilton, who was honored as GLVC Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 8, finished the week with 12 blocks (1.71 per set) and 10 digs (1.43) while totaling 17 kills (2.43) and hitting .381 to earn the second weekly conference honor of her Drury career.
