BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -Â Junior opposite hitter Jorda Crook was named the American Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the third consecutive week, marking the first time a UAB Volleyball player has ever done so.

Crook was one kill shy of her career high with 24 in the Blazers' five-setter at East Carolina. Crook's 66 total attacks against the Pirates were a new career high. She added three aces and nine digs in Friday's match.
With 18 kills in three sets at Charlotte, Crook averaged six kills per set in a match for the third time in 2025. Her .311 hitting performance is the sixth time she's eclipsed the .300 mark this year. Crook shut down the 49er attack four times and had a pair of aces on Sunday.
