Alli Stumler Named SEC Player of the Week & Offensive POW

LEXINGTON, Ky. – After breaking her career high with 20 kills vs. Mississippi State and backing up that performance with 16 kills vs. No. 19 Missouri on Sunday, sophomore outside hitter Alli Stumler was named the Southeastern Conference’s Player of the Week and Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, the league office announced.
 
Stumler averaged 5.14 kills per set this week, with 36 total terminations as Kentucky jumped out to a 2-0 record in SEC play with wins over Mississippi State and No. 19 Mizzou. She hit .345 on the weekend with a service ace and 14 digs to go alongside.
 
For Stumler, the returning 2018 SEC Freshman of the Year, it is the first weekly honor in her career.
 
Kentucky returns home for a huge weekend of SEC volleyball beginning on Friday night at 7 p.m. ET, as the Wildcats host South Carolina.
