COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 9, 2023) – For the third time this season a Wyoming Cowgirl volleyball student-athlete has taken home Mountain West Player of the Week honors. Monday, Sierra Grizzle was named the league's Freshman of the Week announced by the league office.
Grizzle, who earns her first-career player of the week nod, had a solid week in the back row defensively in the Cowgirls' two home victories last week. Making her first two career starts at libero, Grizzle averaged 3.86 digs per set while UW defeated Border Rival Colorado State in four thrilling sets and swept San Jose State. Grizzle also tallied 10 assists for the week.
The week began with Grizzle recording a career-best 17 digs against CSU. Grizzle also set a career-high with seven assists in the win while also tallying a pair of service aces. The week concluded with another double-digit dig performance from Grizzle as she added 10 to go along with a trio of assists. Overall, Grizzle led a Cowgirl defense that held its two opponents to just a .146 hitting percentage in the two matches.
Grizzle and the rest of the Cowgirls head on the road this upcoming week with trips to New Mexico, Thursday and Air Force Saturday morning.
