Colorado Springs, Colo. - Utah sophomore middle blocker Kim Turner was named the Mountain West Conference Volleyball Player of the Week. This is Turner's second award this season and third overall.
A native of Chandler, Ariz. (Dobson HS), Turner helped then-No. 15 Utah upset then-No. 6 Colorado State in five games in Salt Lake City. Turner played a significant role for the Utes in the blocking category last week. In a match where the Rams and the Utes combined for a MWC season-high 42 blocks, Turner totaled a career-high 11 blocks. She recorded her first double-double of the season, adding 10 kills vs. the Rams, while posting a .375 hitting percentage (10k-1e-24a). In a three-game win over Wyoming, Turner totaled six kills, three digs and three blocks. For the week, Turner averaged 2.0 kills, 1.75 blocks, .62 digs and 2.94 points per game, while hitting .275.
Utah is on a 10-match winning streak and has a league-high 13 straight victories at home. The Utes recently moved up to No. 14 in the USA Today/AVCA Top 25 poll-their highest ranking in school history.
