The Lincoln, Calif., native averaged 4.13 kills per set during the Oregon Invitational.
EUGENE, Ore. – For a second time in as many weeks, Oregon outside hitter Mimi Colyer has earned Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honors. The Lincoln, Calif., native averaged a team-high 4.13 kills per set over two matches this past weekend, wins over UC Davis and Rice during the Oregon Invitational.
Â
In another Monday release, the Ducks hold steady at No. 18 in the AVCA top-25 national poll. Oregon is off to Minneapolis, Minn., this week for the Big Ten/Pac-12 Challenge (Sept. 9-10) and matches against third-ranked Minnesota and No. 20 Penn State.
Â
Colyer was near perfect against UC Davis (Sept. 1), putting down a season-high 21 kills on 30 swings and only one attack error, good for a .667 hitting percentage. Her 21 kills against the Aggies are tied for the fifth most by a player in the NCAA in a three-set match this season. She also had four digs and two aces.
Â
Against Rice, Colyer registered her second double-double of the season with 12 kills and 11 digs in UO's five-set victory. She and redshirt freshman Colby Neal each had 12 kills in the match.
Â
Colyer is currently seventh in the Pac-12 at 3.88 kills per set with a .300 hitting percentage through the first two weeks of her collegiate career. She is the first back-to-back conference freshman of the week since 2019 (Kamaile Hiapo, Arizona).
