University of North Alabama volleyball team
has provided a player of the week in the
Gulf South Conference. This week, league
officials have named UNA’s Sarah Roberts as
the East Division’s Offensive Player of the
Week.
Roberts provided on offensive punch for the
Lions as the team went 3-0 on the week,
including a 3-2 win over Division III’s
defending national champion and top-ranked
Emory and a pair of 3-0 sweeps over GSC West

award this season. It is the first PotW
award for her career.
