(Irving, TX) Currently on a nine-match winning streak, redshirt-junior Ava Kirunchyk and sophomore Ava Williamson are this week’s Big 12 Pair of the Week, the third of the season for No. 12 Sun Devil Beach Volleyball.
Three is the most weekly awards in a single season in Arizona State history. For Williamson, this is her second of the season (she also won earlier this season with Daniella Kensinger) and the third conference weekly award of her career. For Kirunchyk, this is her first pair of the week nod.
Playing at the No. 2 spot in all nine of their matches, Kirunchyk and Williamson have not lost a match since being paired together on March 26. They have won nine in a row, which is tied for the second most by a pair in team history. For individual winning streaks, it is tied for fourth.
