  • Flood said on Instagram that she received death threats following Universitario’s 3-0 defeat to rivals Alianza Lima last week, urging abusers to stop.
  • One day later, she was named best player in Universitario’s 3-1 victory over Regatas Lima in the penultimate round of the Liga Peruana de Vóley first stage.
  • La República reported Flood’s match-leading performance included 27 points, five blocks, and two aces in the four-set win.
