Froley honored by Big West

UC Santa Barbara redshirt freshman Tallulah Froley garnered her first career Big West Women’s Volleyball Player of the Week honor after helping the Gauchos top rival Cal Poly 3-1 on Saturday.

Already a two-time Big West Freshman of the Week this season, Froley landed Player of the Week recognition after recording a team-high and career-high 16 kills to hand the Mustangs their first loss in conference play this season and snap their eight-match winning streak.

The Half Moon Bay, Calif. native hit .250 (16-6-40) for the match and added four digs and two blocks. She produced six of her 16 kills in the decisive fourth set, including three early on to give UCSB a 6-3 lead. She had five kills in UCSB’s 25-19 set one win.

UCSB (16-2, 6-1 Big West) is now tied for first place with Cal Poly (13-6, 6-1) in the Big West standings.

The Gauchos head out on the road for a pair of matches this week, beginning at UC Davis on Thursday, Oct. 24 and at UC Riverside on Saturday, Oct. 26.
