After collecting a pair of victories in No. 10 Auburn's dual meet win over LSU last Friday, diver Alison Maillard has been named the SEC Freshman of the Week.

Maillard, from Houston, Texas, swept the springboard events for her first event wins of the dual meet season, collecting a pair of Zone qualifying scores in the process.

Maillard scored a personal-best 302.85 on the 3-meter to claim the top spot by 16.12 points while on the 1-meter she scored a personal-best 272.33 to take top honors by 8.55 points.

Maillard is the second woman off of Auburn's swimming and diving team to win Freshman of the Week honors, joining Julie Meynen (Oct. 18).

Auburn continues dual meet competition this Friday at 3 p.m. when it plays host to Alabama at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center. Maillard and the rest of the divers will begin competing at 2 p.m. Admission is free.
