"Ciera has gotten better each week, and this award is a validation of all the hard work she's put in this year," said Davidson coach Chris Willis. "I'm excited to see that she's performing her best when the team needs her the most."
Cockrell had eight kills in Sunday's second set and four in the decisive fifth. Her week also included a 22-kill performance in the Wildcats' 3-1 win at Fordham on Friday.
