BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Savannah Pegg, a senior on the Blazer volleyball team, has been chosen as the UAB Student-Athlete of the Week.
Pegg, an outside hitter, ranks third among all Blazers with a 2.34 kills-per-set average while also adding 1.08 digs per frame. She has reached double-figures in kills six times this year, including a season-high 17 versus Southern Illinois on Sept. 11.
In the classroom, Pegg owns a 3.42 GPA as an education major. The Madison, Ala., native was named to the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll as a junior in 2008 after transferring to UAB from Middle Tennessee, where she spent her first two seasons.
Pegg writes a weekly volleyball blog for uabsports.com.
The UAB Student-Athlete of the Week is highlighted each Sunday night on Blazers All-Access, which airs locally at 11:35 p.m. on ABC 33/40.
The UAB volleyball team returns to action this weekend as they continue a four-match road stretch. The Blazers will play C-USA contests Friday at 8 p.m. CT at Tulane and Sunday at 1 p.m. CT at UTEP.
