Nuneviller Wins Third Pac-12 Freshman of the Week Award
10/29/18 | Women's Volleyball
EUGENE, Ore. – Freshman libero Brooke Nuneviller has been named the Pac-12 freshman of the week for the third time this season after leading the Oregon volleyball team to a 2-0 weekend in her home state of Arizona, the conference announced on Monday.
Â
A Chandler, Ariz., native, Nuneviller racked up 45 total digs (6.43 d/s) over the weekend, highlighted by a match-high 27 digs in Sunday's win at Arizona for her fourth 20-plus dig match of the year. Nuneviller also added six assists and a career-high four aces against the Wildcats, two nights after totaling 18 digs in a road sweep of Arizona State.
Â
"Brooke was fantastic," Head coach Matt Ulmer said after Sunday's win. "She was a big-time player today, and really this whole weekend…She was awesome. Her and Camryn Tastad, they make some crazy plays when they're back there together."
Â
Nuneviller's stellar defensive weekend raised her season digs per set average from 4.62 to 4.80, which currently ranks third in the Pac-12. The Ducks' libero is the only freshman and one of just two underclassmen in the conference's top 10 for digs per set.
Â
The Ducks now have six Pac-12 weekly awards this season, including Nuneviller's three freshman of the week honors. No. 16 Oregon is back home this weekend to host No. 15 USC (Friday, 8 p.m.) and No. 20 UCLA (Sunday, 12 p.m.) in Matthew Knight Arena.
