Arizona State, Baylor and Texas Tech Capture Week One Big 12 Volleyball Awards

Arizona State’s Noemie Glover (offensive), Texas Tech’s Sierra Grizzle (defensive) and Baylor’s Morgan Madison (rookie) acquired the league’s weekly volleyball honors for the first week of the 2025 season.
 
Glover opened the season with a career-high 17 kills in a 3-0 sweep of Northern Iowa. The junior followed that up with 22 kills in Arizona State’s 3-1 win over then-No. 2 Penn State. Against the Nittany Lions, Glover recorded her first career double-double as she added a career-high 10 blocks.  Her 22 kills and 27.5 points against Penn State led the league for the week, while her 5.57 kills per set rank second in the league. It is the first Big 12 weekly award of her career.
 
Grizzle finished the week with a Conference-leading 66 digs. The junior led the Red Raiders in digs in all three matches with 29 against Kent State, 24 against Western Carolina and 13 against Florida Atlantic. Her totals against Kent State (29) and Western Carolina (24) sit as the most and third-most digs in the Big 12 so far in a match this season. Grizzle tallied 16 assists in the three matches combined. She is the first Red Raider to receive a Conference weekly accolade since Maddie Correa was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 6, 2022.
 
Madison opened her collegiate career with 50 digs over 13 sets to help the Bears win two matches in Week 1. The freshman highlighted her week with 26 digs against then-No. 10 SMU while finishing with 12 more in each of the matches against South Alabama and LSU. Her 26 digs were the second-most during a single game and also led the Conference in 5-set matches. The Magnolia, Texas native finished the week with five aces to rank second on the team and hit .983 at the service line. She is the first Baylor Bear to be recognized as the Big 12 Rookie of the Week since Kendal Murphy on Nov. 28, 2023.
