Stony Brook, N.Y. - Senior outside hitter Gulce Nazli Dikecligil (Istanbul, Turkey) was named the America East Player of the Week, according to a release from the conference on Monday. This is the second time this season Dikecligil has earned this award. She was also named Stony Brook's Athlete of the Week.

Dikecligil led the Seawolves to a 2-2 record last week with 61 kills (3.39 kps). The senior added 15 aces, 41 digs (2.28 dps) and five total blocks. She recorded a double-double (24 kills, 16 digs) in a 3-2 victory over Bryant and her second double-double in a five set loss to Long Island (12 kills, 10 digs). She was one dig short of a double-double against Brown (20 kills, 9 digs). Dikecligil's 24 kills and 16 digs against Bryant were both season highs and the 24 kills were an America East single match high this season.
