EDISON, N.J. – Fairfield University Volleyball junior co-captain Kyla Berg has been named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) co-Libero of the Week, as announced on Tuesday by the league office. Berg averaged 4.60 digs per set in a 2-0 road weekend for the Stags.
 
Berg donned the libero jersey for five sets as the Stags swept Iona and Manhattan to lock up their fourth consecutive MAAC Regular Season Championship. In addition to 4.60 digs per set, Berg was perfect on 13 serve receptions and registered five assists.
 
In Saturday's match at Iona – pitting the first-place Stags against the second-place Gaels – Berg recorded 18 digs and four assists in the 3-0 sweep. She played the first two sets of Sunday's sweep at Manhattan, finishing with five digs and an assist. With Berg quarterbacking the back row, Fairfield limited its opponents to a .047 hitting percentage.
 
On the season, Berg leads Fairfield and ranks sixth in the MAAC with 3.52 digs per set. The Stags own the MAAC's best defense, limiting opponents to a .153 hitting percentage, including a miniscule .116 clip from conference foes.
 
Berg shares Libero of the Week honors with Iona's Hope Matschner, who had 24 digs in the Gaels' 3-0 loss to the Stags and 30 in Sunday's four-set loss to Quinnipiac.
 
The Stags bring a 21-6 record and an eight-match winning streak into this weekend, returning home to close out the regular season with the final matches scheduled for the RecPlex. Fairfield hosts Rider on Saturday and Saint Peter's for Senior Day on Sunday with both contests slated for 1 p.m.
 
The 2022 MAAC Championship will be held on Nov. 16-19 with all 10 MAAC Volleyball teams trekking down to the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando. As the top seed, the Stags' first match will be in the Quarterfinals on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 11 a.m. against an opponent to be determined.
