NORFOLK, Va. (Nov. 18, 2019)-Morgan State sophomore outside hitter Zoe McBride was named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Player of the Week as announced by the league office on Monday. It is the seventh and final MEAC weekly honor this season for both McBride, who last season earned five MEAC Rookie of the Week selections.
 
Ashley Roman of Coppin State was named MEAC Rookie of the Week, while Shayla Eugene of Bethune-Cookman earned MEAC Defensive Specialist of the Week and Celene Morris of North Carolina Central received MEAC Setter of the Week honors.
 
McBride averaged 4.6 kills and 2.4 digs per set and hit a combined .259 in two matches, as the Lady Bears closed out the regular season with a 1-1 week.
