BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Freshman middle blocker Alyssa Munlyn (Suwanee, Ga.) was named Southeastern Conference Volleyball Freshman of the Week, as announced Monday by the SEC office. Munlyn recorded 21 kills on .531 hitting with 13 total blocks against No. 19 Texas A&M and South Carolina this past week.

Last week, Munlyn was named the 2015 SEC Freshman of the Year and also garnered 2015 All-SEC honors. Monday's award marks Munlyn's third consecutive Freshman of the Week honor from the SEC office. It's also Munlyn's fourth total SEC Freshman of the Week recognition this season.

Her four Freshman of the Week honors this season are the most since former First-Team All American and U.S. National Team setter Molly Kreklow tallied five Big 12 Newcomer of the Week awards in 2010.

Munlyn kicked off last week with an outstanding match against No. 19 Texas A&M on Wednesday with 12 kills on .588 hitting and eight total blocks. It marked her ninth match hitting better than .500 this season.

Two days later against South Carolina, Munlyn added nine kills on .467 hitting and five total blocks to close out her impressive two-match stretch. It marked the 19th time this season that Munlyn led the Tigers in single-match total blocks.

Munlyn took her game to another level in SEC play this season, recording 147 kills on .431 hitting with 89 total blocks (1.25 per set) in 18 total conference contests. In SEC matches, Munlyn's .431 hitting percentage ranked third-highest in the conference while her 1.25 blocks per set ranked fourth-best.

In her first season in black and gold, Munlyn has already etched her name into Mizzou Volleyball history. Munlyn's 142 total blocks ranks first in a single-season in program history, her 119 block assists are tied for the most in a single season and her 1.17 blocks per set ranks eighth-highest in a single-season. Additionally, Munlyn's .374 season hitting percentage is the sixth-highest in a single-season in Tiger history.

Mizzou (26-5, 14-4 SEC) heads to Lawrence, Kan., on Thursday, Dec. 3, for the first and second rounds of the 2015 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Tournament.
