ATLANTA (September 11, 2023) – Freshman outside hitter Avery Markham earned her second ASUN Freshman of the Week honor of the season for the week of Sept. 4-10, the league announced on Monday.

Across the single game matchup against Alabama State and the DC Showdown against George Washington, Georgetown and Old Dominion, Markham averaged a double-double with 10.5 kills and 13.5 digs.

Playing in all 18 sets this week, she totaled 42 kills, four service aces and two assists on offense. Defensively, Markham tallied 54 digs and five blocks, while recording a .913 service reception percentage on 127 attempts.

Her best performance came against Georgetown on Sept. 8, where she had a double-double with 13 kills on a .321 hitting percentage and a career-high 16 digs. She also had a career-high in blocks with three to go with one service ace in the 3-1 win against the Hoyas.

Markham will look to continue her momentum in another four-match week for the Lions — starting against the Alabama A&M Bulldogs on Tuesday, Sept. 12, in CB&S Bank Arena in Flowers Hall. This will serve as UNA's home opener.
