Brinson headlines AMC Week 2 award winners

ST. LOUIS, MO - The University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy's junior setter Jenna Brinson was named American Midwest Conference Setter of the Week on Monday for the week of Aug. 26-Sep. 2. Brinson piled up 101 assists over four matches in the countable window including a season-high 38 in UHSP's stirring five-set win over Brescia at the Brescia Classic on Saturday.

Brinson went for 20+ assists in three of the four matches this past weekend leading the Eutectics to a 2-2 mark in the tournament. She has double-digits in assist in all but one of UHSP's matches so far this season and has totaled 146 assists on the year. Over the course of the week, she also compiled 51 digs, six blocks, four service aces and four kills.

It is the second time in her career that Brinson was named AMC Setter of the Week after she claimed the recognition last season for the week of Oct. 16-22.

In just two campaigns with the Eutectics, Brinson has already made a dent in the UHSP record books. Entering this season, she was fourth all-time in career assists with 1457. Her assist total in each of her first two seasons was also in the top-10 on the list for most assists in a single-season. Brinson's total of 797 as a freshman ranks fifth all-time while her 666 last season puts her ninth.
