For the week, the senior tallied 20 kills and 17 digs while hitting .350 in two matches.
Johnson joins Patricia Gandolfo, Naiara Fernandes and Chelsea Wilhoite as the only Argonauts players to win four GSC Player of the Week awards. Johnson and Gandolfo are the only two Argonauts to win four GSC weekly awards in one season.
