BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Another week, another stellar performance and another award for Auburn Volleyball.
Following a career-best effort in a five-set thriller over Mississippi State, freshman Akasha Anderson has been named SEC Co-Freshman of the Week.
The Reston, Virginia product unleashed a barrage of attacks in Auburn's win over the Bulldogs. Her career-high 26 kills were a major catalyst in the victory as were her 10 digs, solidifying her fourth double-double of the season. She also added two crucial aces from the service line.
On the season, Anderson is averaging a team-high 3.52 kills per set and a productive 4.03 points per set.
The honor marks the fifth occasion a Tiger has won an SEC weekly award in 2022. Kendal Kemp, Sarah Morton, Jackie Barrett and Madison Scheer have each claimed a prize this season.
Auburn Volleyball is back in action on Wednesday, Oct. 5 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for a showdown against LSU. Head coach Brent Crouch and company will be back on the Plains Saturday, Oct. 8 and 9 for a pair of matches against Georgia.
