Senior outside hitter Michelle Walker was named Heartland Conference Hitter of the Week for her performance in the Lady Lions' pivotal four-set win against rival St. Edward's on Saturday.
She helped UAFS clinch no less than a share of its third-consecutive, regular-season conference title with the win against St. Edward’s and helped the Lady Lions sweep the regular-season series against the Hilltoppers.
It is the sixth time for Walker, who is from Sugarland, Texas, to earn the honor this season. Walker, who is the reigning Conference Player of the Year, had 20 kills in the four-set match and averaged 5 kills, 3 digs and 0.75 blocks per set.
