Lilley Wins Third SEC Setter of the Week Award

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – For the third time this season, freshman Madison Lilley won an Southeastern Conference weekly award. This week she was tabbed the co-setter of the week for her performance at Mississippi State, the league announced Monday afternoon. Lilley is sharing the honor with Camille Conner of Texas A&M.
 
Lilley garnered the award after posting 35 assists in the sweep of the Bulldogs. The freshman averaged 11.66 assists per set, just below her rate of 11.72 on the season, which is currently No. 7 in the nation. She helped UK hit .341 and record 43 kills in the sweep. Kentucky has now hit above .300 in its last four contests and in eight matches this season. The 43 terminations UK produced is the second highest mark for Kentucky in a sweep. The Wildcats had 49 against LSU last Sunday.
 
Not only was Lilley dishing our helpers, she tied her career high with four kills on just five attempts, good for an .800 attacking clip. The Overland Park, Kansas, native also assisted on three blocks and recorded a dig.
 
Kentucky resumes league action on Friday when the Wildcats welcome Alabama. First serve is set for 7 p.m. and players will sign autographs after the match.
