When a program receives transfers, the student-athletes usually bring some game experience with them. That wasn't the case for University of Memphis volleyball when Andrea O'Connor decided to join the squad in 2019 after spending last season at High Point University.
O'Connor practiced at High Point and used the redshirt season to work on her overall game. Her improvement has paid dividends for the Tigers this year.
The Stamford, Conn., native stars at middle blocker for the Tigers and is second on team in total blocks with 14. She collected a career-high six total blocks against UT Martin in last weekend's Tiger Brawl championship-match victory.
