(Irving, TX) After notching 20-plus kills in both wins last week, senior opposite Noemie Glover is the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, No. 8 Sun Devil Volleyball’s second weekly award of the season.
Additionally, Glover is on the Big 12 Starting Seven, alongside fellow Sun Devil junior libero Faith Frame.
This is the second Big 12 weekly award for Arizona State this season, the first since the first week of the season when freshman Elle Mottola was the Big 12 Rookie of the Week. ASU now has five total Big 12 Starting Seven nods. For Glover, this is her fourth weekly award of her career.

In the reverse sweep at No. 17 Kansas on Sunday, she collected a season-high 25 kills, as well as four blocks. Glover has had three matches this season with 20-plus kills (seven in her career) and is on a streak of 12-straight matches with double-digit kills.
Holding down the back row, Frame notched double-digit digs in both wins with 18 against Arizona and 17 against Kansas. She has reached double-digit digs in both matches and in three of the last four, making it 11 matches in double figures this season. Additionally, in the rivalry win, she surpassed 1,000 career digs and helped ASU to a 69-dig total, the second-largest dig total of the season for the Sun Devils.
