LARAMIE, Wyo. — For the second time in as many weeks to begin the season, University of Wyoming volleyball player Sierra Grizzle has been named the Mountain West’s Defensive Player of the Week.
Grizzle had a stellar weekend, averaging 5.08 digs per set in the Cowgirls’ three wins in the state of Ohio last week. She tallied a trio of double-digit dig performances, including a pair of 20-plus outings. In the sweep over the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Grizzle had 12 digs to begin the weekend. She followed that up with 28 and 21 digs against Akron and Cleveland State, respectively.
As a team, Wyoming held its opponents to just a .154 team hitting percentage in the three matches. Grizzle also had five service aces on the week.
Grizzle and the rest of the Cowgirls travel to Colorado this weekend for the CU Buffs Invitational.
