Smith Named Modern Woodmen Student-Athlete of the Week

SHERMAN, Texas - Austin College Athletics is excited to announce the Modern Woodmen of America Student-Athlete of the Week, an award highlighting our great student-athletes on and off the field of play each week. This week's honoree is 'Roo volleyball player Victoria Smith.

Smith, a sophomore from Carrollton, had a huge opening week of the 2021 season as she helped the 'Roos start the year 5-0. Smith led the 'Roos with 2.81 kills-per-set and boasted a .293 hitting percentage, while also adding 0.81 blocks-per-set in the team's five matches. She reached double figures in kills twice, including 13 in the season opening 3-0 victory over Paul Quinn and 10 in another three-set sweep of Rhodes. Smith did not have more than three attacking errors in any of the team's five matches last week, and also added eight digs.

Modern Woodmen of America is proud to recognize and support the ongoing achievements of Austin College student-athletes.
