Lilly averaged 4.25 kills per match and hit 39.6 percent from the outside last weekend.
MEMPHIS – Junior outside hitter Catlin Lilly (New Albany, Ind./New Albany HS) was named to the American Athletic Conference weekly honor roll after helping Memphis to a 2-1 week last week at the Belmont tournament.
Lilly averaged 4.25 kills per match and hit .396 from her outside hitter slot and posted her first 20-kill outing of the season in a 3-2 loss to Belmont in the championship game.

Lilly and her Tiger teammates will open their home schedule this weekend when the Tigers host the Memphis Invitational, Friday and Saturday. Memphis hosts UAPB in its home opener, Friday, at 2 p.m., then hosts the Tigers of Auburn, Friday, at 7 p.m. in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse. On Saturday, Memphis will face Tennessee Tech at noon, then will host Little Rock, a team that finished last season ranked No. 24 in the country, at 7 p.m. Admission to all University of Memphis home matches is free.
