SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) – California State University, Sacramento sophomore Victoria Marthaler was named the Big Sky Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 6 after leading the Hornets to a four-set volleyball road win (25-18, 25-23, 22-25, 25-22) at Portland State in the team's lone match of the week.
The outside hitter accounted for nearly half of Sacramento State's kills, finishing with a career-best 28 kills (7.00 per set) to go with a .397 hitting percentage. The Albuquerque, New Mexico native had just five errors in 58 swings and her 28 kills were 10 more than any player from either team.
This marks the second time in three weeks that a Hornet has received the Big Sky's offensive honor (Ashlynn Archer on Sept. 22).
The 28 kills surpassed Marthaler’s previous career best of 26, set two weeks ago against Fresno State. Marthaler also came through in the clutch, connecting on a kill at set point to close a 25-23 second set and later getting a kill on match point to finish off a 25-22 fourth set win.
Her 28 kills were just shy of half of Sacramento State's 60 kills in the match. If that wasn't enough, Marthaler also added a career-best 14 digs. Marthaler is now averaging a whopping 6.30 kills per set in Big Sky play, easily the top mark in the conference.
In addition, Marthaler's overall average of 4.40 kills per set is the 23rd best mark in the nation and her 4.90 points per set rank 29th.
