The award marks Parks’ first SEC Setter and Player of the Week honors of her career.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Taylor Parks helped direct No. 4 Florida's offense to a combined .306 hitting percentage in two weekend sweeps, earning Southeastern Conference Player of the Week and Setter of the Week honors, the conference announced Monday.
Parks opened the weekend with her sixth double-double of the season, recording 31 assists and 11 digs, along with two kills and a service ace, in a 3-0 victory over LSU. She then contributed in multiple ways against Ole Miss, finishing with 35 assists, five digs, four kills and two aces.
For the weekend, the third-year setter averaged 11.00 assists, 2.67 digs, 1.50 points, 1.00 kills and 0.50 service aces per set.
The honors are the fifth and sixth of Parks' career and the first that aren't a Freshman of the Week award. They also give the Orange and Blue four weekly honors this season. Monday marks the first time since 2024 that UF has received both Setter of the Week and Player of the Week honors.
The Gators are back in action on Friday, Oct. 30, at Auburn for a 7 p.m. ET match. They then return home Sunday to face Arkansas at 1 p.m. ET. Both matches will stream live on SEC Network+.
