It came as no surprise on Tuesday when the weekly KJCCC
award winners were released that Seward County outside hitter Thayna
Silva was named the conference Player of the Week for her performances
in three Lady Saints wins throughout the week. Silva had an incredible
week for the Lady Saints in three Seward County wins, averaging 3.64
kills and 4.55 digs per set, while hitting .369. Monday in a blowout
win against Pratt, Silva picked up 6 kills and had just 1 error in 14
chances while also adding 11 digs on the defensive end. Wednesday in a
triangular, Silva opened up her big night with 15 kills and 12 digs
against Garden City in her first career double-double and backed that up
with a performance for the ages when she hammered down 19 kills and
pulled up 27 digs in a solid win over Redlands.
