Sophomore middle blocker Jami Ediger helped the Blue Devils extend their winning streak to six games this weekend by recording 18 kills and 18 digs Friday at N.C. State. In Sunday's win over UNC, Duke's first since 1994, Ediger had 15 kills on an outstanding .520 hitting percentage. To top it all off, Ediger finished off UNC late in the fourth game with a miraculous bump from deep in the corner, almost in the bleachers, that shifted the momentum back to the Blue Devils. For her heroics, Ediger is The Chronicle's "Can't stop the Shining" Athlete of the Week.
*Runner-up: Sarah Peifer. 16 kills, four aces in win over Tar Heels, 18 kills vs. Wolfpack.
