Fort Valley State's Sarah Rosario was named the SIAC Defensive Player of the Week while Lane's Jazmyne Jones was named the SIAC Setter of the Week.

The Lady Tigers close out the regular season with three SIAC East Division matches as they vie for top billing into the 2022 Cricket SIAC Women's Volleyball Championship, set for Nov. 10-12 in Mobile, Alabama.
 
Savannah State is currently ranked No. 2 in the SIAC East Division, trailing Albany State (13-2, 7-1 division).
