average at Kentucky where she has been a member of the Dean's List,

native has recorded a career-high eight blocks in two matches this
season and notched three service aces in UK's win over Syracuse
earlier this year.
Edwards has 120 kills this season for an
average of 1.40 kills per game. She is third on the team with 77 total
blocks (0.90 bpg), and has recorded eight services aces this season.
