Nov 26, 2024 | Volleyball
MANHATTAN, Kan. – For the seventh time in her career and third time this season, K-State graduate outside hitter Aliyah Carter has been named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Â
Carter, a native of Dubuque, Iowa, repeats as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week and sets the K-State record for most career offensive weekly honors to surpass two-time All-American Kaitlynn Pelger (2010-13). With her five Big 12 Rookie of the Week titles in 2020, Carter has received a program record 12 weekly awards, which is seventh most all-time in league history.
Â
Last week, Carter totaled 38 points to reach career point No. 2,000 in her 129th match in a Wildcat uniform to become the first player to reach the milestone in the rally-scoring era and second overall in program history.
Â
Against in-state rival Kansas, Carter totaled a match-high 24 kills to register her 26th career outing with 20 or more kills. She added 13 digs to complete her 33rd career double-double.
Â
Her average of 5.00 kills per set last week led all Big 12 players, while she finished second in points per set (5.43). Now with 1,813 career kills, Carter is one of five Power 4 student-athletes with at least 1,800 kills.
The 2020 Big 12 and AVCA Midwest Region Freshman of the Year currently ranks second in the Big 12 in six offensive categories: kills per set (4.42), total kills (429), points per set (4.79), total points (465.0), attacks per set (12.65) and total attacks (1,227). Her 12.65 attacks per set ranks sixth nationally across Division I while she currently ranks 25th overall in kills per set.
Â
The Wildcats (10-15, 8-8 Big 12) will head west down I-70 on Wednesday afternoon to take on Colorado (12-16, 5-11 Big 12) in the first meeting between the two squads since 2010. First serve is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT at the CU Events Center.
Â
K-State will host No. 24 BYU Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Morgan Family Arena and honor six players as part of its annual Senior Day celebration. Seniors include Carter, Meg Brown, Liz Gregorski, Ella Larkin, Molly Ramsey and Izzi Szulczewski.
Â
Tickets are available for the Wildcats' regular-season finale against the Cougars and can be purchased at the K-State Athletics ticket office at 1-800-221-CATS and www.kstatesports.com/tickets, starting at just $10 when purchased in advance.Â
