Norfolk, Va. (Sep. 9, 2019) --- Delaware State volleyball outside hitter Ryanne “Cookie” Burnett (fr.) has been honored by the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for her performance at the Lafayette/ Lehigh Crosstown Tournament last weekend. Burnett was named MEAC Rookie-of-the-Week after tallying 31 kills on 81 attempts (.198 hitting pct.), to go along with three aces, nine digs and two blocks in three tournament matches.  

Burnett had a career-best 19 kills on 46 attacks (.239) and five aces vs. Lafayette last Friday.
