St. LOUIS -- Missouri State's
Amelia Flynn was honored Monday for the second consecutive week and fourth time overall this season as the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Week in volleyball.
The outside hitter from Lake St. Louis, Mo., broke her own MSU freshman single-match record with 27 kills in Saturday's win at Drake, and averaged 5.14 kills on .313 hitting, 2.29 digs, 0.71 blocks and 5.57 points per set in two matches.Â
Flynn who already shared the freshman kills record at 26 with
Lily Johnson and Vanessa Wouters, needed just four sets at Drake to establish the new record, which marked the highest total in a four-set match for any player at MSU since 1998. She hit .328 against the Bulldogs and added 12 digs and four blocks, completing her 11th double-double of the season. Friday, Flynn hit .273 with a team-high nine kills at UNI.
Missouri State (16-13, 9-7 MVC) closes the regular season Friday and Saturday at Hammons Student Center against Valparaiso and Loyola. First serve for both matches is 7 p.m. The Bears can finish as high as the fourth seed in the MVC Tournament with a win over Valpo Friday. The league meet takes place Nov. 22-24 in Springfield.
