Shelton Named SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week
November 04, 2024 | Volleyball
NORMAN – After leading the Sooners to an upset-victory over No. 9 Texas, junior outside hitter Alexis Shelton has been named the Southeastern Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week.
This is the first weekly award in Shelton's career. The Charlotte, N.C., native shared the honor with Florida's Kennedy Martin as she picked up OU's second weekly honor of the year. Senior Payton Chamberlain was named co-setter of the week in September.
In the Sooners lone match of the weekend, Shelton was dynamite as she led OU to its first win over the Longhorns since 2014 and first over a top 10 opponent since 2014. Shelton led all players with a season-high 27 kills and recorded a season-high 15 digs for her seventh double-double of the year. With her sixth 20-kill performance of the season, Shelton has now recorded 23-straight matches with double-digit kills, dating back to 2023. Shelton's .365 hitting percentage was her second-highest mark of the season and fifth mark over .300 in 2024.
The junior also recorded 5.0 blocks, her fifth game of the year with at least five. Shelton led all players in both kills and digs on the night and was second in hitting percentage, only to her teammate Kari Geissberger. Her five blocks also ranked second in the match as she helped the Sooners to 16.5 blocks, their most in a conference game this season.
Shelton and the Sooners are back on the road for a two-game road swing in Mississippi. OU faces Ole Miss on Friday at 1 p.m., followed by a 2 p.m. Sunday match at Mississippi State.
