King matched a career-high seven blocks against No. 3 Kentucky on Sunday night.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Logan King has earned her second Southeastern Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Week honor of the season after standout performances at the net in No. 5 Florida's victories over No. 11 Tennessee and No. 3 Kentucky, the conference announced Monday afternoon.
The third-year opposite hitter co-led the Gators with 12 blocks over the weekend, averaging 1.50 per set. She tallied five blocks against the Lady Vols, then matched a career high with seven against the Wildcats, including six block assists and a solo stop, both of which also matched career bests. King's contributions didn't end at the net. She posted seven digs on Friday and followed with 10 against Kentucky, equaling her season high.
Offensively, the Toronto native recorded 15 kills in three sets against Tennessee and added three service aces, finishing with 20.5 points. Against Kentucky on Sunday, she contributed eight kills and four assists.
King is the first Gator to earn multiple SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors in a single season since Elli McKissock, who won the award on Nov. 8 and Nov. 22, 2021.
No. 5 Florida will resume conference play next weekend when they return to the national spotlight on Friday, Oct. 9, for an 8 p.m. ET match at Missouri on ESPNU before clashing with Vanderbilt in Nashville on Sunday, Oct. 11, at 2 p.m. ET.
