IRVINE, Calif. - CSUN sophomore outside hitter Fallyn Blotzer was named Big West Rookie of the Week after helping the Matadors to a pair of five-set conference wins last week.
In CSUN's 3-2 win over California Baptist on Thursday (Nov. 5), Blotzer led all players in the match with 21 kills while hitting .390 on 41 swings. She also added 13 digs - along with six blocks - for her fourth double-double of the 2026 season.
Blotzer then matched her Thursday total with 21 kills against UC Riverside on Saturday, hitting .286 on 49 attacks. She doubled up for the second straight match, adding 16 digs along with two aces and three blocks.
For the week, Blozter averaged 4.20 kills and 2.90 digs per set while hitting .333 on 90 swings. She is the third CSUN player this season to earn a Big West weekly award following Iye Okolo (Defensive Player of the Week) on Aug. 31 and Hailey Brockway (Offensive Player of the Week) on Sept. 14.
"Fallyn stepped up huge this week in both the front and the backrow," said head coach Aquiles Montoya. "Her serving ultimately allowed us to take control of some matches. Her continual progress in practice is paying off and I'm really proud of her."
CSUN plays its final two regular season road matches this week, traveling to UC Irvine on Friday (Nov. 13) and UC San Diego on Saturday (Nov. 14).
