Texas' Brandy Magee chosen Big 12 Player of the Week

DALLAS - University of Texas sophomore middle blocker Brandy Magee (Mission Viejo, Calif.) was selected Big 12 Volleyball Player of the Week after her career performance in the team's lone match last week.

In UT's 3-1 victory at Colorado on Wednesday, Nov. 3, Magee recorded a career-high 24 kills, shattering her previous mark of 16. She also had a career-best .742 attack percentage on a career-high 31 attacks. She recorded only hitting one error in the match.

Additionally, Magee tied her season high with seven blocks (one solo, six block assists) and added two aces with no service errors, and had four digs in the team's fourth-straight victory.

For the season, Magee is averaging 2.89 kills/game, 1.05 blocks/game and a .360 attack percentage, a mark which ranks fifth in the Big 12. For her career, Magee is the current Texas career leader in attack percentage with a .356 mark.

The Big 12 weekly honor is the first of Magee's career and her third personal accolade of the 2004 season, as she also earned all-tournament team honors at both the SMU Invitational and the Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational in September.

Magee and the rest of the No. 9 Longhorns (20-2 overall, 12-2 Big 12) return to action on Thursday, Nov. 11, when they host No. 14 Texas A&M in a State Farm Lone Star Showdown rubber match at Gregory Gym. First serve is set for 6:30 p.m., and CSTV will air the match on a tape-delayed basis on Sunday, Nov. 14 at 5 p.m. Central.
