Arizona State’s Geli Cyr (offensive), Baylor’s Lauren Briseño (defensive) and BYU’s Alex Bower (rookie) earned weekly Big 12 volleyball awards following the first week of Conference action.

Cyr had a career-high 18 kills in the Sun Devils’ first Big 12 win against No. 22 TCU in Fort Worth. The business major followed with her first double-double of the year against now-No. 14 Baylor, leading all players with 17 kills while adding 12 digs. The senior from Flower Mound, Texas has had double-digit kills in four consecutive matches and is the first player from ASU to receive the league’s Offensive Player of the Week recognition.

Briseño helped the Bears bring home two wins during the week including a four-set win over then-No. 14 Arizona State. The senior led BU in digs for both matches, including 21 in the victory over the Sun Devils. The native of San Antonio had a reception percentage of .889 for the week which included zero errors in the ranked matchup with ASU. This is her second Defensive Player of the Week title this season and of her career.

Bower commanded the BYU offense with her fifth double-double of her debut season with 40 assists and 13 digs against Colorado. The setter from Nampa, Idaho tied a career-high against Texas Tech with three service aces while adding 34 assists. The freshman’s 10.57 assists per set ranked fourth among league players during the week while her 0.57 service aces per set finished seventh to claim her first career weekly accolade.
