KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- University of Tennessee senior Erica Treiber was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, as announced by the league office Monday afternoon.
She also took home SEC Defensive Player of the Week honor, becoming the second Lady Vols this season to win that award.
Overall, this is the fifth honor the Lady Vols have received this season with Lily Felts winning SEC Freshman of the Week on Oct. 8, Addisyn Rowe garnering SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors on Oct. 29 and Tessa Grubbs was named SEC Player of the Week on Oct. 29 as well as Offensive Player of the week on Oct. 29 and Nov. 12.
Treiber helped the Lady Vols extend their winning streak to 11 matches including wins over No. 13 Florida and Ole Miss to end the regular season. On Saturday against Ole Miss, Treiber recorded her first career double-double with 16 kills and 11 blocks. Her 11 blocks set a new career-high while nine block assists tied her career high. Of her 11 blocks in the match, Treiber tallied four blocks in the first set including three blocks of SEC kills/set leader Emily Stroup.
Through the first three sets of the match, Treiber also had 13 kills on 15 swings with no errors. She would finish with 16 in the four-set victory over the Rebels.
On Wednesday, Treiber's 10 kills and five blocks helped lead Tennessee to its first sweep over Florida since 1988. She was one of two Lady Vols to record double-digit kills and was the only player on the team this week to have double-digit kill outings in both matches.
With a .401 hitting percentage on the season, Treiber is now UT's career leader in hitting percentage at a .360 clip. She passed up Beverly Robinson (1983-84) for the top spot in school history on Saturday with a .481 hitting percentage match against Ole Miss.
Treiber ended the regular season as one of two players in the nation to rank top five in their conference in hitting percentage, blocks per set and aces per set. She finished the season as the only player in the SEC to hit over .400 on the season while ranking fifth in both blocks per set (1.09 blk/set) and aces per set (0.37 aces/set).
She also took home SEC Defensive Player of the Week honor, becoming the second Lady Vols this season to win that award.
