MEMPHIS, TENN. - Senior setter Amie Hamilton of The University of Memphis is the Conference USA Player of the Week for the period ending Sept. 9 as released by the league office Monday morning.
Hamilton picked up her second tournament MVP honor this season after leading Memphis to a 4-0 finish and a championship title in the Kent State Tournament this past weekend. Hamilton was Memphis' best all-around player, leading the squad both offensively and defensively. She powered the offense with 172 assists for an average of 43 assists per match and an 11.5 assist average per game. She also recorded a .364 hitting mark as a setter and her top-spin jump serve proved to be a dominating factor again this week as she totaled 15 service aces in four matches. Defensively, Hamilton tallied 49 digs, including a match-high 24 digs in the championship game against Kent State.
The Tigers are 7-0 on the year for the first time since 1997. They will travel to Boca Raton, Fla., this weekend for their final regular-season tournament at Florida Atlantic University. The tournament will also feature Youngstown State and North Carolina State. Memphis opens its home schedule on Sept. 23 against Houston at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
