FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Leading the Colorado State volleyball team to a 2-0 weekend on the road in the Mountain West play, junior outside hitter Kennedy Stanford was recognized as the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week for her performances during week eight of the season. This is the second award win for Stanford this season.

The Rams continued conference play last week on the road against Fresno State and San Diego State, winning both matches to move to 14-5 on the season and 7-1 in the Mountain West. Stanford was a huge part of the five-set, 3-2 victory over the Bulldogs as well as the 3-0 sweep over the Aztecs Saturday afternoon, earning her Colorado State's second weekly award of the season.

Against the Bulldogs, Stanford led the team with 28 kills on the night which is the second highest number put up across Mountain West hitters this season. She also added 15 digs, good for her fifth double-double of the season and three total blocks from the front row. 28 kills is a new career high for Stanford who accomplished the feat hitting at a .370 hitting percentage with over 50 attempts.

Putting up another strong game against the Aztecs, Stanford's offensive production also came from the service line in this match up. She finished with two service aces on the Aztecs as well as eight kills, eight digs and a blocking assist.

Overall, Stanford leads the Rams in kills this season with 229 while sitting second in digs with 140, only behind Rams' libero Kate Yoshimoto. She also adds 20 service aces this season, only one behind the Rams' ace leader, Ruby Kayser.

This is Stanford's third Mountain West weekly award win and second of the season, winning it after week five of this year as well.
