NEW ORLEANS – For the fourth time this season, No. 15 Texas State claimed half of the Sun Belt Conference weekly accolades as senior middle blocker Tyeranee Scott and junior setter Emily DeWalt are honored as the league's defensive player and setter of the week, respectively.
 
DeWalt wins her second consecutive setter of the week award after turning in 14.80 assists per set to go along with 3.20 digs per set, three kills, three blocks, and two aces in the weekend sweep over Little Rock. DeWalt posted a career-high 64 assists in the 3-1 victory vs. Little Rock with her 36th assist of the match moving her to No. 5 on the Texas State all-time career assist leaderboard. Furthermore, the 64 assists are the most in a four-set match across the Division I level, and is tied for the second-most in a match this season. She now has 3,077 career assists. This is DeWalt's fourth Sun Belt Conference Setter of the Week award this season, 13th of her career, and 18th overall conference weekly award.
 
Scott had a big weekend on the block as she averaged 1.40 blocks per set. The highlight of her weekend was in the 3-1 victory vs. Little Rock where Scott recorded a season-high nine blocks and also registered a career-high 17 kills in that same match. Scott is the first Bobcat to be named the league's defensive player of the week this season and the second time of her career (Sep. 23, 2019). It is her fourth overall conference weekly award after being named freshman of the week twice in 2017.
