SAN ANTONIO – After coming one kill shy of posting another back-to-back triple-doubles last week, Calissa Allison was named the Southland Conference Setter of the Week, the league announced Monday morning. The honor marks Allison's second Setter of the Week selection and third Player of the Week honor this season.
Allison recorded her fifth triple-double of the season in the Cardinals' two-match series against Houston Christian. In Houston, she recorded nine kills, 29 assists, and 17 digs before recording a triple-double in the home matchup with 11 kills, 17 assists and 10 digs against the Huskies.
With 18 career triple-doubles, Allison is tied for eighth on the NCAA's all-time career triple-double list and is one of just three active players ranked in the top 20. Her five triple-doubles this season rank second nationally.
The junior is averaging 2.73 kills, 5.65 assists and 3.08 digs per set this season, continuing to contribute across the stat sheet. Allison and the Cardinals close out the regular season at home Thursday, Nov. 12, against UTRGV at 6 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 14, against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at 11 a.m.
