COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept, 5, 2006) -- BYU rightside hitter Erica Lott has earned Mountain West Conference volleyball Player of the Week honors, marking her first career award.
Lott, a 6-2 junior from Orem, Utah, led BYU to a 3-0 record at the BYU Molten Classic in Provo, Utah, last weekend, including a 3-1 upset victory over then-fourth ranked Stanford. Lott was awarded tournament MVP honors. She led the Cougars in kills in all three matches, starting with her match-high 20 vs. then-No. 4 Stanford. She also turned in six digs and total blocks, and one assist against Stanford, as BYU defeated its highest ranked opponent since November 18, 2000 (No. 4 Colorado State). She followed that outing with a 13 kill (.480 hitting efficiency), five dig, four total block performance vs. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Lott concluded the tournament notching a career-high 10 total blocks to go along with 13 kills, six digs and a service ace against Virginia Commonwealth.
For the week, Lott averaged 4.60 kills, 2.00 blocks and 1.70 digs per game and had a hitting percentage of .355 (46-13-93).
