Gators Volleyball’s Logan King Keeps Earning Hardware

No. 4 Florida volleyball has been elite this season, and opposite hitter Logan King has played a huge role in its success. Along with strong team results, King is being individually recognized as well.

King received her third SEC Defensive Player of the Week honor Monday, the fourth for the Gators this season, as middle blocker Alec Rothe claimed one on Oct. 19. 

However, that was not the only award King received this week. With her well-balanced performance, King was recognized as SEC Player of the Week, the first of her career. This marks the Gators’ second of the season, with Taylor Parks earning the award on Oct. 26. 

Throughout last weekend, King and the Gators had dominant performances in the O’Connell Center. 

Florida (21-2, 12-1 SEC) swept South Carolina 3-0 Friday night, winning each set by an average of more than six points. King was balanced, tallying 14 kills, four blocks and eight digs. She led the Gators with 17 points.

The Gators defeated Georgia 3-1 on Sunday to gain a share of the SEC regular-season title with the potential to win it outright Friday at Mississippi State (17-7, 7-6).

And King kept on rolling. The third-year player recorded 15 kills and two aces, tallying six blocks in the match. 

Her excellent match, alongside strong efforts by teammates Kamryn Chaney and Rothe, clinched the Gators’ eighth-straight win.

First serve Friday in Starkville is at 8 p.m. ET on SEC Network+.

Florida ends regular-season play Sunday at Alabama (9-13, 1-12) at 3 p.m. ET on SEC Network+.

The SEC Tournament is set for Nov. 20-24 at Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Ga.
