Reynolds garners Player of the Week honors
It was also announced Monday that CSU senior outside hitter has been named the Mountain West Volleyball Player of the Week after her performance this past weekend in the Residence Inn Invitational in Tempe, Arizona. A native of Dalhart, Texas, Reynolds earned tournament MVP honors while averaging 2.91 kills per set on .373 hitting over 11 total sets. Reynolds also added six total blocks on the weekend.

Bennett was one of four new starters on the line and replaced former Ram and New York Giants second-round pick Weston Richburg. Starting guard Fred Zerblis is listed as the starting center for this week’s game at Boston College with left tackle Nick Callender moving into guard after the return of All-Mountain West tackle Ty Sambralio from a knee injury.
