HELENA, Mont. -- After a sweep of No. 16 Rocky Mountain College, a sweep of the Frontier Conference weekly awards, two Carroll College volleyball players were selected as the NAIA Players of the Week. 

Setter Ali Williams and defensive specialist Ayla Carpenter were selected as the NAIA National Women's Volleyball Setter of the Week and the NAIA National Women's Defender of the Week, respectively.
