Korrin Burns (Clarion, Pa./Clarion Area), a member of the Saint Francis women's volleyball team, has been named the NEC/Molten Women's Volleyball Player of the Week for the fourth time in this season alone. It is the eighth time that she earned Player of the Week and the 11th time she received a weekly conference award in her career.
 
Burns capped off the weekend with an impressive 44 kills, leading Saint Francis to a strong start in conference play with a 2-0 record. In addition to her powerful offense, she contributed significantly on defense, recording 23 digs and four blocks to help secure the team's victories against CCSU. Burns collected two more double doubles to add to her career stats bringing her to a total of 20. 

The senior was also named Player of the Week two times in 2023, once during August and again in November. Then two more times during 2024, in September and October. Burns now earns her seventh award for this category surpassing Megan Taliaferro as the program record holder since 1997.   
 
This is the 32nd time that a Red Flash women's volleyball player has won Player of the Week, and Burns is the 11th different player to earn the distinction. She has also tied Skyler Eicher for the most Player of the Week awards in a season in program history with four.
