RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – The Great American Conference announced its weekly volleyball awards on Monday and Oklahoma Baptist's
Taneyah Brown was honored.
After helping lead the No. 18-ranked Bison to a pair of GAC wins, the junior right-side hitter was named Co-Offensive Player of the Week. It is the first time in her career she has won the offensive accolade.
Last week, Brown tallied a team-high 23 kills while averaging 3.83 per set in a pair of 3-0 wins over East Central and Northwestern Oklahoma. Those victories boosted the Bison's record to 8-2 and 2-1 in the GAC.
Her best performance came against NWOSU when she registered 13 kills and a .435 attack percentage. Brown also contributed on the defensive end with a half-dozen block assists.
This season, the Mesquite, Texas native ranks in the top ten of the GAC in three different offensive categories: points (5th), kills (9th) and hitting percentage (10th).
Brown and the rest of the Bison next play tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Southern Nazarene.
