ALBANY, Ga. — Albany State University freshman outside/opposite hitter Amiria Anderson continues to make an immediate impact in her first collegiate season, earning Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Newcomer of the Week honors for the fourth time this season.
The Houston, Texas, native delivered another impressive week for the Lady Golden Rams, recording 30 kills across two conference victories over Savannah State and Edward Waters.
Anderson opened the week with a match-high 10 kills and an outstanding .600 hitting percentage in Albany State's 3-0 sweep of Savannah State on Senior Night.
She followed that performance with a match-high 20 kills on 48 attempts, posting a .313 hitting percentage while adding eight digs and two total blocks in the Lady Golden Rams' four-set victory over Edward Waters.
Her offensive production helped Albany State complete the regular season on a 15-match winning streak and finish conference play with an 18-1 record.
Anderson has continued to establish herself as one of the conference's top newcomers, providing consistent offensive production and playing an important role in the Lady Golden Rams' success throughout the 2026 campaign.
Anderson and the Lady Golden Rams will return to action Wednesday, November 11, against Miles College in the SIAC Women's Volleyball Tournament semifinals. First serve is scheduled for 4 p.m. in Fort Valley, Georgia.
