BIRMINGHAM β After a record-setting first year for the UAB beach volleyball team, Jasmine Haas has been named the Conference USA Freshman of the Year, league officials announced on Friday.
Β
A native of Cincinnati, Haas arrived in Birmingham and immediately made an impact playing at the top of UAB's lineup. The 5-foot-4 defender played exclusively on the top two courts with a record of 14-11 on Court 1 and 6-3 on Court 2 for an overall record of 20-14.
Β
The 20 wins were a UAB freshman record and she became just the fifth player in school history to win 20 matches in a single season.
Β
"Jasmine came in and made an immediate impact with her work ethic and attitude" head coach Terri Del Conte said. "Her demeanor is beyond her years and I can't wait to witness how much she elevates over the next three years."
Β
Haas stepped up against some of the nation's top competition by registering wins over nationally-ranked opponents South Carolina, Pepperdine, FIU and Tulane (twice).
Β
She was also a catalyst for UAB defeating No. 12 FIU in the Conference USA Tournament and advancing to the C-USA semifinals for the first time in program history. For her efforts, she was named to the Conference USA All-Tournament Team.
Β
Haas is sharing Freshman of the Year honors with Ashleigh Adams of Florida Atlantic. Haas was also named First Team All-Conference USA and earned a spot on the Conference USA All-Freshman Team.
Β
Led by Haas, the Blazers won a program record 18 matches and put together the best season in program history. UAB is currently receiving votes in the AVCA Top 20.
Β
The Blazers return seven of their top 10 players in 2024 and add a freshman class of six players. For more information on the Blazers, be sure to follow @UAB_BVB on Twitter and Instagram. Β
