TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa volleyball defensive specialist/libero Taylor Horsfall earned a spot on the American Athletic Conference weekly honor roll, the conference announced on Monday.
The honor comes after a standout weekend at the Bruiser Showcase in Nashville, Tennessee. Horsfall averaged 5.40 digs per set on the weekend. The 2017 American Libero of the Year posted a season-high in digs in a 3-1 win over UMBC on Saturday, racking up 27 digs in the contest.
Horsfall improved as the weekend went on, tallying 13 digs in the first match, 14 in the second and 27 in the tournament finale. In total, the defensive standout managed 54 digs for the weekend, along with adding a service ace.
Currently, Horsfall leads the conference with 5.50 digs per set in 2018.
As a team, TU boasted a 2-1 record for the tournament, defeating UMBC and host Belmont but falling to ETSU. The Golden Hurricane put two on the all-tournament team in Callie Cook and Rachel Moore.
Looking forward, Tulsa is set for its home-opening weekend on Sept. 7-8, in which it will host Abilene Christian, Northwestern State and ORU in the Tulsa Volleyball Invitational.
