Carter Collects Third Straight Rookie of the Week Award
Mar 31, 2021 | Volleyball
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Following her 22-kill performance in a sweep of Wayne State, freshman Aliyah Carter collected her third straight 12 Rookie of the Week award, the conference office announced Wednesday.
Carter's outing marked her second straight match eclipsing the 20-kill mark and her sixth such match this season. Her 22 kills were one shy of equaling K-State's three-set match record during the rally scoring era (since 2001).
The Dubuque, Iowa, native now owns five Big 12 Rookie of the Week honors and six total weekly league accolades (one offensive). Her five rookie-of-the-week awards tie Kylee Zumach for the most in a single season in program history while her six total weekly honors are the most by any Wildcat in the Big 12 era.
Playing six rotations in the victory over Wayne State, Carter also added six digs and a block. Her 4.16 kills-per-set and 4.53 points-per-set averages are currently the highest by a K-State freshman in program history.
The honor marks the 10th weekly league awards K-State has earned the season – its highest single-season total in the Big 12 era. During the fall campaign, Abigail Archibong (Defensive), Shelby Martin (Offensive) and Jayden Nembhard (Rookie, twice) were each recognized by the league office.
K-State (13-7, 10-6 Big 12) concludes the regular season Wednesday at No. 9 Baylor at 2 p.m. The match will be broadcast on Big 12 Now on ESPN+ and the ESPN app. Fan can listen to Rob Voelker call the action online at K-StateSports.com/watch.
