I'm going to update my post-season player award predictions: POY: Madi Skinner, Texas SOY: Camryn Turner, Kansas LOY: Makenzie Morris, Kansas State FOY: Nayeli Gonzalez, Iowa State if it was DPOY instead of LOY I'd say Asjia had a really good shot at it but I think it's gonna be Morris over other candidates no Briseño? She's a ninja!

Offensive Player of the Week Aliyah Carter, K-State, OH, Sr.
Defensive Player of the Week Mackenzie Morris, K-State, L, Sr.
Rookie of the Week Nayeli Gonzalez, Iowa State, OH/RS, Fr.
Carter led the Wildcats to a takedown of then-No. 3 Texas with her 20 kills on a .311 hitting percentage. The victory snapped a 39-match losing streak to the Longhorns for K-State, which stretched back to 2003. It was Carter’s 17th career match with 20 or more kills and she helped the Wildcats set a single-season program record with five ranked victories this year, including the first top-five win under head coach Jason Mansfield. This is her fourth Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honor and her ninth overall weekly recognition, tying her for the ninth most all-time and the most ever by a K-State student-athlete. Morris added her 28th career 20-dig match in the win over UT, the first top-five win at home in K-State history. The 2022 Big 12 Volleyball Scholar-Athlete of the Year helped hold the Longhorns to a .246 hitting percentage while earning her fourth career Defensive Player of the Week title. The league leader in digs per set (4.74) has guided the Wildcats to four straight ranked wins at home where K-State has swept each match. Gonzalez became the first Cyclone since 2008 to have a 30-plus kill match with 31 in the first match victory against then-No 14 Kansas. It was the fourth-highest individual single-match total, the highest by a freshman in school history and the most in the rally-scoring era by a Cyclone. The freshman added 12 digs, three aces and two solo blocks for a total of 36.0 points, the first 30-plus point performance by a Cyclone since 2008. The back-to-back Big 12 Rookie of the Week winner is the second ISU player of all time to procure the honor four times.

But I don't know how anyone could have possibly been better than Gonzalez this week. Although the 2nd day does diminish what she did on Friday. Besides her 31 kills and 12 digs in the match - all 3 of her aces came in the 5th set.

I think had Carter had that winning performance against any other team than Texas, Gonzalez would have won POW.

IMO, she’s the best setter in the conference. I haven’t seen Kansas yet, but will this weekend. Mia Lee in the running for FOY, maybe?

Kansas State Setter (Izzi Szulcewski) is a transfer from Oregon State. She was in the 2020 class, so she should have another year of eligibility. I thought I heard somewhere here that Kansas State took off when they made her the 5-1 setter instead of running a 6-2? Kansas Setter (Cam Turner) is one of the most athletic all-around setters in the country. Her floor defense is elite. Doesn't set as nice of a ball as Szulcewski - but she just does so many things well. She is in the 2021 class and also has one year of eligibility left. Both setters are short - Szulcewski is listed at 5-7 and Turner at 5-8.

I really haven't seen much of Bower, Livingston and the others - so looking forward to seeing BYU.

Definitely the best all around libero in the conference, but Morris is the best defender for sure.

Houston (at home) sweeps TCU 25-17, -22, -21. Coogs held Parra to 8k on .073 and Abbie Jackson stays hot with 17k on .298 and Georgiades digs 22 in 3 sets.

Libero kill? From the setter? Which social media intern is getting fired 😭 I guess said intern doesn't realize that the libero is wearing a different color jersey and is very easy to identify.
