Fuentes Honored by SEC Office Yet Again

Pressing all the right buttons for the Mizzou offense this past weekend was redshirt sophomore S Andrea Fuentes. The San Juan native produced 89 total assists (14.83 per set) in victories over Arkansas and Mississippi State.
For her outstanding efforts in leading the Tiger attack, Fuentes was named the Southeastern Conference Week Nine Volleyball Overall Player and Setter of the Week on Monday (Oct. 28).
It marked Fuentes' seventh career honor by the SEC office. She was also tabbed the SEC Overall Player and Setter of the Week earlier this season (Sept. 16).
Fuentes concluded her past weekend with 51 assists, as Mizzou hit .415 as a team against the Bulldogs. The 51 assists were the most by an SEC player in a three-set match this year.
Heading into this week's slate of SEC matches, Fuentes' 11.73 assists per set ranks second in the NCAA. She's played a pivotal role into Mizzou's high-powered offense this season, as its .320 hitting percentage ranks second in the nation and 14.62 kills per set ranks fifth.

It stands as the Tigers' most AVCA poll single-season appearances since 2013, as that year's Mizzou squad totaled 10 appearances in midst of its unforgettable 34-0 regular season and first-ever SEC Championship.
Since joining the Southeastern Conference in 2012, the Tigers have appeared in the AVCA poll 34 total times.
