THROGGS NECK, NY – Sophomore Joan Anastasiades (Rockaway Beach, NY) of the Maritime College volleyball team has been chosen as the Skyline Conference Libero of the Week.  She had two 20-dig performances in the Privateers' five-set matches with Mount St. Mary and Mount St. Vincent.

Anastasiades had a career-high 27 digs against Mount St. Mary last Tuesday.  She added two assists in the loss to the Knights.  Then on Thursday night against Mount St. Vincent, Anastasiades tallied 24 digs to go along with three assists.  It was her third straight 20-dig effort.  In the two matches, she averaged 5.10 digs per set.

This is the second Skyline weekly award for a Maritime player this season.  Laci Werner (New York, NY) was named Skyline Rookie of the Week on Sept. 14.

The Privateers (4-20, 1-9 Skyline), who have gone five sets in each of its last three matches, conclude the season by hosting Yeshiva (1-13, 0-10 Skyline) at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.  Maritime will honor its three seniors—Ashley Pavarini (Ossining, NY), Xieana Rodriguez (Queens, NY) and Mikaela Thiel (Fort Morgan, CO)—prior to the contest.
