BSU Women's Volleyball player named Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week

BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — According to a recent news release, Boise State junior Paige Bartsch was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week. The award marks her second MW Player of the Week honor.

The release says Bartsch had a record-breaking week for the Broncos (6-6, 2-0 MW) last week. She recorded seven aces against Colorado State on Thursday, breaking a program record for most aces in the rally-scoring era. She also netted 24 kills against the Rams, totaling 33 points.

Bartsch followed up with a career-high 30 kills against Wyoming on Saturday and put up a solid defensive showing against the Cowgirls, piling up 10 digs in a dominant 3-1 victory.

She tallied 6.0 kills per set on a .239 hitting percentage over the two matches and racked up 18 digs (2.00 per set) and 10 service aces (1.11 per set). The junior currently leads the nation in aces per set (0.76), is second nationally in points per set (6.14) and ranks third in kills per set (5.16).

The Broncos will hit the road, taking on Air Force on Thursday, before facing New Mexico on Saturday.
