BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Union’s Olivia Lee has earned the Gulf South Conference Player of the Week Award presented by Truist as a result of her performance during the week of Feb. 10-16. This is Lee’s first career GSC Player of the Week honor after winning GSC Freshman of the Week three times last season.
