NEW ORLEANS – Huston-Tillotson University volleyball player Lindsey Morris was named the HBCU Athletic Conference's Freshman of the Week following her performances in matches from Sept. 8 through 14, the league announced this week.

A true freshman from Fort Worth, Texas (North Crowley), Morris reached double-figures in kills in each of HT's two victories Saturday at Tougaloo (Miss.). Morris knocked down 10 kills and hit .238 in the Rams' first-ever HBCUAC victory over Tougaloo and then added 11 kills hours later in non-conference win against Jarvis Christian.

Morris has wasted no time making an impact for the Rams (3-7, 1-0 HBCUAC). She ranks second on the team in overall points (57.5, behind Hayley Broussard's 63.5) and kills per set (1.79, behind Chloe Gaytan's 1.82).

Huston-Tillotson players have taken two of the four Freshman of the Week honors issued by the conference this season. Broussard was similarly honored two weeks ago after the Rams' season-opening weekend at the Texas Two Step in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

HT plays its first home match as a member institution of the HBCU Athletic Conference on Thursday, Sept. 18, when the Rams host Dillard (La.). The match will be streamed to the Urban Edge Network.

The Rams will attempt to exorcise Dillard's Bleu Devils beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday at Mary E. Branch Gymnasium on the HT campus.
