TicketsThe American Athletic Conference announced its first weekly award winners for the 2018 volleyball season on Monday with the University of Cincinnati's Jordan Thompson landing a spot on the weekly honor roll.
Thompson was named to the Miami Best Western Sycamore Inn Invitational all-tournament team on Saturday after averaging 5.62 kills per set with a .305 attack percentage in three matches to start the year. The AAC Preseason Player of the Year was two kills shy of her career best with 27 in the season-opener against UC Santa Barbara, a five-set victory for the Bearcats. In the first match on Saturday against Saint Louis she followed that up with 22 kills in a three-set win. Thompson finished the weekend with 24 kills against host Miami in a close 3-2 defeat. Along with her strong attack, Thompson had a double-double in two matches with 12 digs against UCSB and 11 against Miami. She also added in four blocks and two aces in the three matches.

The Bearcats travel to Fort Collins, Colorado, for three games this weekend. UC will face host Colorado State, TCU and Florida State.
