After leading Florida’s record setting defensive effort last weekend, freshman MB Nnedi Okammor was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.
This is the first SEC honor for the talented freshman from Carrollton, Texas.
Per the SEC release:
SEC Co-Defensive Players of the Week – Florida’s Nnedi Okammor, a freshman middle blocker from Carrollton, Texas, averaged 2.33 blocks per set in the two wins over Alabama. Okammor recorded a career-five blocks on Friday night, and then surpassed that mark with nine on Saturday. Her nine blocks is the sixth highest total in a three-set match in program history.
Florida swept a pair of matches from Alabama at Exactach Arena last week to improve to 4-0 in their fall season.
Okammor was credited with a then- career high five blocks in the first match against the Crimson Tide, but followed that performance up with a nine block effort the next night. The nine blocks represent the sixth highest total in a three-set match in program history.
The Gators will travel to South Carolina for a matchup with the Gamecocks on Wednesday, November 11 and the doing night as well.
