SAN FRANCISCO - Torrey Van Winden earned her second Pac-12 weekly honor in as many weeks on Monday, receiving league Freshman of the Week accolades. Van Winden recorded 31 kills (3.88 per set), a .455 hitting percentage and 12 digs (1.50 per set) in two Bruin victories last week.
Van Winden tied a season and career best with 19 kills against #14 Stanford last Friday, helping the Bruins to their first victory over the Cardinal since 2011 (seven matches). She hit .417, adding nine digs and the first service ace of her career. Last Sunday versus California, the freshman posted 12 kills and a season-best .526 hitting percentage with just two errors in 19 attempts.
Van Winden hit over 160 points higher than her season average last week and has a current streak of five straight matches with double figures in kills (3.81 per set). She has hit over .300 in all five of those contests, including over .400 in the last three. Van Winden is also averaging 1.76 digs and 0.48 blocks per set in the last five matches.
This week's award comes after Van Winden was named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week for the first time following the Bruins' victories against Oregon and Oregon State (Oct. 12 and 14). Since 2011, when the conference started handing out Offensive, Defensive and Freshman of the Week honors, UCLA has won 11 Offensive, six Defensive and five Freshman awards (22 total). Four of those have come this season. The Bruins won a pair of awards last week, as senior Taylor Formico was named the Defensive POW. On Aug. 29, senior Jennie Frager was the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week. The Bruins have 83 all-time Pac-12 weekly awards.
