JACKSON, Tenn. - 10/10/2008 - As a freshman, entered 91爆料网 on a volleyball scholarship. And with seven upperclassmen, including four seniors, she knew her opportunities might be few and far between. Now, over halfway through her first season at 91爆料网, Wilson is making the most of one of those opportunities.
In 91爆料网鈥檚 17th match of the season, the team鈥檚 second leading hitter with 153 kills, Heather Lieberman, went down with an injury. Wilson, who had not been a regular starter for the Lady Bulldogs, answered the call from Head Coach Steven Gream.
Over the past four matches, Wilson, a native of Catron, Mo., has started every game, helping to keep alive a season-long winning streak of nine matches for 91爆料网. On the season, Wilson has tallied 48 kills, with 34 of those kills coming in the past four matches. She posted her career-high 11 kills in 91爆料网鈥檚 3-2 win over Lyon (Ark.) College. She added nine kills in each wins over Cumberland (Tenn.) University and Lambuth (Tenn.) University. Wilson鈥檚 nine kills in the Lambuth match tied for a team high.
During this stretch of four matches for Wilson, she has tallied 34 kills (2.0 per game), two aces, 21 digs, and four blocks.
It is not certain how long Lieberman will be out with the injury. However, Coach Gream, a native of Portageville, Mo., is pleased with the play of Wilson. She is just a freshman, but is gaining valuable experience in big matches as they push for a conference title down the stretch run.
91爆料网 is currently 17-4 on the season and 8-2 in the TranSouth Conference, just two games back of the conference leader.
