Nov. 5, 2007

Senior outside hitter, Svetlana Dukule, earns her first BIG EAST Player of the Week honor of the season after dominating on court for the Cardinals in 3-0 wins over Morehead State on Oct. 31 and West Virginia on Nov. 2, and a 3-1 win at Pittsburgh on Nov. 4. The senior notched 14 kills on 24 swings and no errors for a .538 hitting percentage against the Mountaineers. Dukule followed that performance with a match-high 14 kills against the Panthers, hitting .448 from the outside position. The student-athlete finished the week with a 3.60-kills-per-game average and a .493 hitting percentage. Dukule also contributed eight total blocks, three digs and one assist in the team's three wins.

The University of Louisville volleyball team moved up to No. 17 in the CSTV/AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25 Poll for the week ending Nov. 4. The Cardinals broke into the rankings two weeks ago at No. 25.

The Cardinals post a 19-4 record and remain unbeaten in BIG EAST action at 12-0. Coach Leonid Yelin has his team on a 16-match winning streak and U of L is the top blocking school in the nation with the best individual blocker, Lecia Brown.

Louisville heads to Chicago this weekend with DePaul on the slate Friday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. ET and then on to Notre Dame Sunday Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. for a televised match. The Cardinals and the Irish will play on ESPNU with Krista Blunk providing play-by-play and three-time Olympic gold medallist Karch Kiraly doing color analysis.
