Sooners Sweep Weekly Big 12 Volleyball Honors

Oklahoma’s underclassmen trio swept the league’s volleyball honors for the fourth week of the season. Megan Wilson (Offensive), Callie Kemohah (Defensive) and Morgan Perkins (Rookie) guided the Sooners to a 3-0 week while not dropping a single set (9-0) to lift OU to its best non-conference record since 2013 (10-2). Oklahoma is the first school to sweep the league’s weekly volleyball accolades since Baylor in September 2019.

Wilson led the Big 12 with 4.25 kills and 5.69 points per set during the week while also ranking fourth in service aces (0.63). Against Texas Southern, she tallied a career-high hitting percentage (.500). Over the season, the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s Southwest Region Freshman of the Year leads OU and is second in the Conference with 159 total kills while also sitting first on the team and fourth in the league in kills per set (3.88). She leads the Big 12 in total points (207) and is second in points per set (5.05) entering Conference play. The sophomore has earned two Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week titles this season, three in her career, and has six overall Big 12 weekly awards.

Kemohah topped the Conference standings in digs per set (5.33) with 48 digs in three matches. The 2021 All-Big 12 Rookie Team member leads the league this season in digs per set (5.24) and total digs (220) and has had double-digit digs in each match this season. This is her third career Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week nod.

Perkins earned her first career double-double with career-highs in blocks (11) and kills (10) against Texas Southern. The freshman’s 11 block assists set a program high for an individual match in that category and ties her for first in the Conference for total blocks in a single match this season. Her .769 hitting percentage against the Tigers contributed to her league-leading .600 hitting percentage over the week while also leading the Big 12 in blocks per set (2.22). This is the Rosharon, Texas native’s first Big 12 recognition.
