Junior helped the Tigers record a program-best 11-0 start in 2019.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – University of Memphis junior Hannah Flowers has been named to the American Athletic Conference Volleyball Weekly Honor Roll, the league office announced Monday. It is the third time this season a Tiger has earned the accolade, as Meredith Wallace did so Sept. 3 and Flowers also Sept. 9.
Â
It is the fourth conference weekly honor roll recognition of Flowers' career and her second of the season. She earned the distinction twice in 2018. Flowers was a 2018 All-American Athletic Conference second team pick and a 2019 preseason all-league selection.
Â
Last weekend, Flowers helped Memphis to a runner-up finish in the Beale Street Challenge. The Tigers went 2-1 with wins over North Alabama (3-0) and Toledo (3-1) and a setback to Southeast Missouri (3-1).
Â
The Tigers have an 11-1 record entering American Athletic Conference play this week. Memphis began 2019 with an 11-0 start, the best in program history. Prior to the Saturday's setback, the Tigers were one of five unbeaten programs in NCAA Division I volleyball.Â
Â
In last weekend's three matches, Flowers posted 42 kills, seven aces, 8 digs and six total blocks. In the win over Toledo that set the program-record 11-0 mark, the Wildwood, Mo., native had 18 kills, four aces and four total blocks.
Â
Flowers leads the American Athletic Conference in aces (30) and is ranked among the league leaders in hitting percentage and kills.
Â
Memphis opens league play on the road this weekend. The Tigers travel to Tulane for a Sept. 27 match at 7 p.m. (CT) and then face the Cougars in Houston, Texas, Sept. 29 at 1 p.m. (CT).
