USC's Bibiana Candelas Named Pac-10 Volleyball Player of the Week
Senior middle blocker earns first Player of the Week honor
Oct. 3, 2005
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - USC middle blocker Bibiana Candelas has been named Pac-10 Volleyball Player of the Week for Sept. 27 - Oct. 2, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced today.
Candelas, a senior from Torreon, Mexico, posted a career-high 26 kills to help USC win its first Pac-10 match of the season over UCLA. She hit .389 and added seven blocks (1.75 bpg), three digs (0.75 dpg) one assist and one ace in the 10th consecutive win over the rival Bruins.
A returning All-American, Candelas leads her team with 170 kills this season (4.15 kpg) and 196.5 points (4.79 ppg).
The Women of Troy (5-6, 1-2) will continue Pac-10 play this weekend, hosting Oregon State (Oct. 7) and Oregon (Oct. 8).
This is Candelas' first weekly honor and USC's 36th Player of the Week honor all-time.

Congrats to Bibi. This is the second consecutive year that USC player had won the Pac 10 POW for their victory at UCLA (despite playing only 1 game for the week). Last season, Seilhamer also got the POW award after she had some 55 digs at UCLA.

I've heard of some people calling the Big-10 the "Big 11" after they added Penn State.  |

Think of "Big 10" as a trademark rather than a number. Kinda "Healthy Cookies" (tm), that have 10 times the calories and 12 times the fat and sugar as other similar cookies. Plus, they make calories "per serving" low by making a serving 1/100th of a cookie.  Oh yeah, back to the real point of the thread. Congratulations to Bibiana... |

Bibi obviously read the ridiculous VT thread slandering her talents last week, and decided to remind everyone what a back-to-back national champion looks like on the court.

It gets to be like OMG I just consumed 7 times the daily recommended amount of calories in one spoonful of that "premium" ice cream? Oh well, I guess I might as well eat the whole half gallon now. There's no possible way my body could even remotely absorb 7 billion calories from one "meal". |
