Glass Garners MSC Defender of the Week Honors

LEBANON, Tenn.--Cumberland University senior libero Kaleigh Glass has been named the Mid-South Conference Women's Volleyball Defender of the Week, conference officials announced Monday.

Glass earns the honor after anchoring the Phoenix back row through four matches at the Phoenix Classic to open the 2026 season.

The Surprise, Ariz., native totaled 65 digs over 14 sets, averaging 4.64 digs per set. Glass also recorded six service aces and finished the weekend with a .939 reception percentage on 82 attempts.

Glass opened the season with 19 digs in Cumberland's three-set victory over Rio Grande, averaging 6.33 digs per set. She was also effective from the service line, firing four aces while posting a .966 reception percentage on 29 attempts. Later that day, Glass added 16 digs as the Phoenix battled to a five-set victory over Columbia International, helping Cumberland start the season 2-0.

Facing No. 2 Eastern Oregon on Saturday, Glass turned in another strong defensive performance with 19 digs in three sets, again averaging 6.33 digs per set. She committed just one reception error on 16 attempts against the nationally-ranked Mountaineers.

Glass closed the weekend with 11 digs and a service ace against Fisk to bring her weekend total to 65 digs.

The Defender of the Week honor is the first weekly conference award of the season for Glass and the second of her career.
