COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Texas A&M senior middle
blocker Lindsey Miller has been named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week after
posting back-to-back outstanding performances and leading the Aggies to two
five-set road victories last week, the conference office announced today.
Miller,
from Katy, Texas, had consecutive season highs in kills, posting 17 in a crucial win at Tennessee and a match-high
20 kills at Ole Miss which gave her 1,000 kills for her career. She averaged
3.70 kills per set and hit a combined .530 for the week, posting only two
errors in 66 swings.
Miller, who garners a weekly
conference award for the first time in her career, also averaged 1.10 blocks
per set, tying a season high and tying for match-high honors with seven blocks against
the Lady Vols.
Miller helped the Aggies
(24-5, 16-4 SEC) close out the regular season on a nine-match winning streak to
win the SEC Western Division and finish second overall to Florida. Texas A&M received an at-large bid to the 2012 NCAA Volleyball Championship and
