The Northwest Conference is proud to announce its Student-Athletes of the Week in Women’s Volleyball for the week of October 7th through October 13th.
Volleyball - Offense - Student-Athlete of the Week

Badger had another electric weekend, picking up 35 kills in two games, including 19 against Whitman and 16 against Whitworth. She also hit .476 over that span and added 10 blocks to her resume as well. She did all of this while taking down Whitworth, as the Loggers now claim full possession of first place in the conference, handing Whitworth their first conference loss since 2023.
