NEW ORLEANS – University of South Alabama volleyball middle blocker Rebecca Walk was named the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year and second-team all-SBC, as announced Tuesday by the league office.
Walk is just the second Jaguar in the program's history to earn SBC Freshman of the Year, and the first since Mechell Daniel received the honor in 2013. Walk's selection to the second-team all-conference squad marks the eighth straight season South Alabama has placed a student-athlete on the all-conference team.
Walk led the Sun Belt Conference in hitting percentage (.377) this season after recording 153 kills with 38 errors in 305 total attempts.
