Robinson Named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week
09/02/19 | Women's Volleyball
EUGENE, Ore. – Setter Kylie Robinson earned the 2019 season's first Pac-12 freshman of the week award after dazzling over the weekend in her first two collegiate matches, the conference announced on Monday.
Â
Robinson, who made her UO debut after redshirting the 2018 season, was stellar for the No. 11 Oregon volleyball team in the Oregon Classic, earning a spot on the all-tournament team after dishing out 69 total assists (11.5 a/s) to go with 13 digs, five kills (.833), three aces and two blocks.
Â
The Upland, Calif., native was terrific against UC Irvine on Friday in her first collegiate match, directing the Ducks' offense to a whopping .507 hitting percentage with only three attack errors while racking up 29 assists. Oregon's .507 attack percentage was the program's best single-match mark since 2012.
Â
Robinson shined once again on Saturday against Boston College, recording 40 assists through just three sets while adding eight digs and two aces.
Â
This is the first Pac-12 weekly award for the Ducks in 2019. Oregon won seven weekly conference awards in 2018, including four Pac-12 freshman of the week honors for Brooke Nuneviller.
Â
The 2-0 Ducks, who moved up two spots to No. 9 in the AVCA rankings on Monday, will return to practice for a week before opening a two-week East Coast trip next week in Pennsylvania against a trio of top-10 opponents. Oregon will take on No. 10 Pittsburgh next Wednesday, Sept. 11, before going to University Park to take on No. 8 Minnesota and No. 6 Penn State on Sept. 13-14.
