BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- For the third time this season, Tennessee middle blocker Jolene Oddo has earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors. In an announcement from the conference office on Monday, Oddo claimed Co-Freshman of the Week recognition after Tennessee's wins over Mississippi State and Alabama.
Oddo came off the bench in Tennessee's three-set win over Alabama on Sunday. She posted six kills for the Lady Vols in the match, doing so on an impressive .750 hitting percentage. Oddo also did work at the net, finishing with four blocks. It marked the fifth time that the freshman had four or more blocks in a match this season, including in each of her last three matches.
This season, Oddo has recorded 61 kills and 43 blocks. The Clayton, North Carolina, native has led the team in blocks in four matches and logged a season-high eight blocks against Texas A&M. She had a season-best nine kills against Coastal Carolina and has tallied five or more kills in seven contests.
