NEW ORLEANS – South Alabama volleyball outside hitter Hannah Maddux was named the Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Tuesday.

Maddux totaled 56 kills and a .311 hitting percentage in three matches, averaging 5.60 kills per set in 10 sets played in last weekend's Jaguar Invitational presented by Holiday Inn Express. The San Antonio, Texas, native recorded 16 kills and a .342 hitting percentage in the Jaguars' home opener against Ole Miss last Thursday at Jag Gym, and followed that performance with a season-high 22 kills and .311 hitting percentage on Friday against Florida A&M. She capped the weekend with 18 kills and .282 hitting percentage against Eastern Kentucky to help the Jaguars claim their third win of the tournament.

Tuesday's announcement marked the first time Maddux has earned SBC Offensive Player of the Week honors in her career, and is the first time a Jaguar has earned the honor since Kelley Hartman on Oct. 7, 2019.
