Freshman volleyball player Emma Shaner (Newark, Del./Cab Calloway School of the Arts) is this week's Shorewoman of the Week. Shaner tallied 11 blocks in an undefeated week for the Shorewomen.

Shaner averaged 1.0 blocks per set as Washington is off to its best start in the conference since 1994 with its 4-1 mark. In Saturday's four-set win at Ursinus, she set a career-best with six blocks (three solo and three assisted) and had a hand in six of the 11 rejections in the win. On Wednesday evening at McDaniel, a four-set victory, the freshman led all players with five rejections and factored in over half of the team's eight blocks.

This is Shaner's first career Shorewoman of the Week honor.
