DENVER Nevada setter Tristin Adams has been named the Western Athletic Conference Volleyball Player of the Week for the week of Nov. 10. This is the first player of the week honor for Nevada this season and the first career honor for Adams.
Adams, a native of Fallon, Nev., led the Wolf Pack to a win over San Jose State. Adams also had a big match as the Wolf Pack were the first WAC team this season to take a game from Hawaii. Nevada is now tied with Rice with 10 points for seeding in the WAC Tournament.
The freshman averaged 11.38 assists per game and 2.75 kills per game last week. She added 2.50 dpg, 0.62 sapg, and hit .465 as Nevada split the two WAC matches. In the match against the Rainbow Wahine, Adams posted a triple-double finishing with 13 kills, 13 digs, and 37 assists in addition to hitting .571. The 13 kills established a new career high. In the San Jose State match, she was one kill shy of a double-double finishing the night with nine kills, and 54 assists. She served up two aces versus Hawaii and three in the San Jose State match.
It was the fourth triple-double this season in the WAC, including two from Louisiana Tech setter Lia Mora and one from SMU middle blocker Kelly Larkan.
Other nominees included: Kristen Fenton, Fresno State; Lily Kahumoku, Hawaii; Lia Mora, Louisiana Tech; Rebeca Pazo, Rice and Jessica Mihm, SMU.
