BIRMINGHAM – Addyson Smock earned American Conference Honorable Mention honors after helping lead the Blazers to a 2-0 weekend, the league announced Monday.
Smock recorded a league-best 21.0 blocks over the weekend, highlighted by a record-setting performance in Sunday's 3-1 victory over UTSA. She established a new UAB single-match record with 16.0 total blocks, surpassing Shaniquwa Cooper's previous mark of 15.0 against Tulsa on Nov. 18, 2006.
Smock also played a key role in the Blazers setting a new program record with 22.0 total blocks as a team, breaking the previous mark of 19.0 set against UTSA on Oct. 9, 2021. The Easton, Mass., native added 10 kills, three service aces and six digs across the two matches.
