Oct 06, 2026 | Volleyball
MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State freshman Addison Massey was named to the Big 12 Starting Seven, which honors standout performances across the Conference, as the league announced its weekly award winners Tuesday afternoon.
It is the second time Massey has earned a spot on the Starting Seven, as she also was named to the weekly team on September 22.
A native of Las Cruces, N.M., Massey led the Big 12 in kills per set (5.14) during the week, ranking 16th nationally, while her 5.29 points per set ranked third in the league and 40th across Division I. She also finished third in the conference in total kills (36) and fourth in total points (37), while surpassing her career mark with a match-leading 23 kills against No. 18 BYU for her third 20-kill performance of the season.
On the season, Massey ranks fourth in the Big 12 in both kills per set (4.36) and points per set (4.94), while her points per set average ranks 17th nationally. She is just four kills shy of reaching her 200th.
K-State will hit the road for a pair of Big 12 contests at Iowa State (9-6, 3-1 Big 12) and at No. 23 Colorado (11-3, 2-2 Big 12) on October 9 and 11. Both matches can be seen on ESPN+ and the ESPN app.
