The junior libero was named The American Defensive Player of the Week for the second consecutive week
HOUSTON – University of Houston volleyball junior Kate Georgiades claimed her sixth American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week honor of the season on Monday. It marks the second consecutive week she's earned the honor and her third selection in the last five weeks.
Houston (27-2, 18-0 The American) has won its last 19 matches, marking the third longest active win streak in the country. The team's perfect 14-0 record at home marks the first time that Houston has completed an undefeated home regular-season slate.
Overall, Georgiades tallied 43 digs, averaging 6.14 per set, while adding 12 assists and one ace.
Georgiades started the weekend with a 23-dig performance against Memphis, also going a perfect 12-for-12 on service receptions.
On Sunday, the College Station, Texas, native led the match with 20 digs, while again going a perfect 19-for-19 on service receptions.
UP NEXT
The Cougars complete the regular season with a trip to Florida, battling South Florida at noon CT, Wednesday in Tampa followed by a rematch against No. 24 UCF in Orlando at 4 p.m. CT, Friday. A win against South Florida would guarantee Houston at least a share of the conference title in the team's final season in The American.
