LAGRANGE, Ga. – Sophomore right-side hitter Alex Krabs (Boynton Beach, Fla.) of the LaGrange College women's volleyball team has been named the Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, October 18^th, 2026 in an announcement by the conference on Monday.

Krabs led LaGrange's attack with 26 kills across two matches, averaging 3.71 kills per set while hitting .328 for the week. She recorded 13 kills against nationally ranked Emory as the Panthers pushed the Eagles to four sets for the first time in program history, then added another 13 kills while hitting .385 in a win over Asbury. Krabs also contributed three service aces, 11 digs and averaged 4.21 points per set.

It is the fourth time this season that a Panther has earned CCS Player of the Week honors. Sophomore middle-blocker Kaitlyn Smith (Buckeye, Ariz.) was recognized for the opening week while junior outside hitter Ella Sprouse (Sneads, Fla.) has picked up two since then.

The Panthers (11-9, 5-3 CCS) are in a hotly-contested battle in the CCS standings as they are tied for second place with just four conference matches left. LaGrange is back on the court on Wednesday when they travel to Huntingdon College for a 7:00 p.m. CST match.
