COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – For the third time in four weeks, Colorado State middle blocker Kirstie Hillyer has earned Mountain West Conference Player of the Week awards. This week, the junior was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week announced by the conference office Monday morning. This is the fifth career conference weekly award for Hillyer.
Kirstie Hillyer led Colorado State to two road victories last week, bringing the Rams within one victory of clinching its 15th regular season Mountain West Championship and 20th overall. The middle blocker led CSU on both sides of the ball, recording a team-best 28 kills while hitting .449 and putting up 10 blocks for the week.
Hillyer started the week flooring nine kills at Utah State, while also tallying six blocks as the Rams kept the Aggies to a .151 hitting mark. In the final match of the week, she continued her offensive domination with a 19 kill, .607 hitting percentage performance against Boise State. She also added four blocks in the win against the Broncos, including a solo stuff.
For the week, the junior averaged four kills per set, 1.43 blocks per set and a .449 hitting percentage. On the season, Hillyer is second on the team in offense with 296 kills and a .352 hitting mark, while also second in defense with a 120 blocks (103a, 17s) and a 1.21 average.
Colorado State will finish the regular season this week, hosting UNLV on Thursday before the regular season finale on Saturday against New Mexico. TICKETS
