WACO, Texas – The Louisiana Christian University volleyball program is preparing for the Red River Athletic Conference Tournament and one of their Senior stars, Kierra Jones, was selected by the league office as the RRAC Defender of the Week after she dominated the Paul Quinn Tigers above the net in the final regular season weekend.
 
Jones, a middle blocker from New Orleans, Louisiana, notching a season-high seven blocks over only four sets (1.8 p/s) on Saturday and another four more blocks (0.8 p/s) in the win Friday night as she amassed 11 (1.2 p/s) rejections overall against PQC.
 
The six-footer racked up the second-most total blocks for a single-match ever in the five-set victory with five block assists & two solo blocks for a grand total of seven for the evening.
 
She also would've set the program record for most points in a single-season if not for teammate Katie Spell beating her to it, so she currently sits in second now at 265.5 and the Big Easy native moved into fifth on the all-time matches played leaderboard by appearing in her 90th contest on "The Hill".
 
It was Jones' second career weekly accolade and the first as a defensive standout, laying claim to the last RRAC Offensive Player of the Week of the 2023 campaign nearly one year ago prior on November 6.
 
LCU wrapped up the regular season with an overall record of 14-17 (45.2%) and 8-8 (50%) in the Red River, earning them a fourth place finish for the third year in-a-row. They will face Paul Quinn College yet again in the RRAC Tournament First Round on Friday morning at 10:30 a.m. as they search for their first Championship.
