COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – San Diego State volleyball's Victoria O'Sullivan (Albany, Calif.) was named Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week on Monday for her performances in a pair of recent conference road matches at Boise State and Utah State.
With her award, the SDSU senior received the first conference weekly honor of her career and the Aztecs' first this season.
In two matches, O'Sullivan blasted 32 kills (5.33/set) and recorded a .350 hitting percentage to go with five block assists, helping the Scarlet and Black to a 1-1 week.
Against Boise State on Oct. 14, O'Sullivan tied her career high with 22 kills (7.33/set), leading the Aztecs to a 3-0 sweep of the Broncos, which marked the first time in program history San Diego State recorded victories over Boise State on the road in consecutive seasons. The SDSU outside hitter compiled a personal-best .545 efficiency, committing just four attack errors on 33 attempts while contributing three block assists.
O'Sullivan blasted 10 kills in the first set alone vs. the Broncos, including two on the final three serves, as SDSU erased a 21-19 deficit with a key 6-2 closing run. Her 22-kill effort represents the most for a three-set contest in the Mountain West this year and is tied for third in overall matches.
Two days later vs. Utah State on Oct. 16, O'Sullivan came back with 10 kills (3.33/set) to tie for match-high honors while adding a pair of block assists.
For the season, O'Sullivan ranks fifth in the Mountain West with 3.58 kills per set (233 overall) and has led or shared the team lead for kills in 11 straight matches she has played. In addition, the Albany, California, native has registered double-digit kills in 15 of her previous 17 starts and has surpassed that barrier in 47 of her last 62 appearances since the start of the 2019 campaign.
O'Sullivan and the Aztecs will be back in action on Thursday, Oct. 21, when they play host to Colorado State inside Aztec Court at Peterson Gym. First serve is set for 7 p.m., and the first 250 fans will receive a free SDSU Volleyball T-shirt.
