BIRMINGHAM  – Officials with the Gulf South Conference have named North Alabama’s Sarah Roberts the East Division’s Offensive Player of the Week for the third consecutive week. The senior from Maryville, Tenn., led the Lions to a 2-1 showing at Flowers Hall last week with wins over Shorter College and Valdosta State before falling to West Florida.

The middle hitter had 46 kills in the three matches, averaging 4.60 per set, while recording a .293 hitting percentage. She is currently ranked third in the GSC in kills per set.

North Alabama has now had a player of the week in the East Division for five straight weeks. Roberts’ three straight awards was preceded by setter Alison Jacobs winning the offensive award on Sept. 15 and Brigid O’Brien being named the division’s top defensive player on Sept. 8.
