BOULDER ? University of Colorado outside hitter Nicole Carr was named the Big 12 Conference Volleyball Player of the Week on Monday by the conference office.

Carr, a 6-0 sophomore from Wauwatosa, Wis., averaged 4.25 kills and 3.62 digs per game while hitting .301 last week as the Buffs went 2-0, sweeping the University of Texas on the road and defeating the University of Missouri in five games at home.

Against Missouri, Carr recorded her team-high 15th double-double of the season and led all players with 19 kills and 24 digs. Her 24 digs are a team season-high and equaled a personal best, which she set as a freshman against the University of Texas-Arlington. In the Texas match, Carr had 15 kills, five digs and three service aces.

Carr is currently tied for third in the Big 12 in digs with 3.57 per game. She is 14th on CU’s single-season digs list with 361, needing just 10 more digs to crack the top 10. She was also recently named to the 2003 Academic All-Big 12 volleyball team.

 

Colorado will close its regular season this week by hosting No. 10 University of Nebraska on Wednesday at the Coors Events Conference Center, and with a road match at the University of Oklahoma on Friday.
