IRVINE, Calif. - CSUN senior outside hitter Hailey Brockway was named Big West Offensive Player of the Week after leading the Matadors to the Linda Murphy Ridge Invitational championship over the weekend.Â
Brockway, the tournament Most Valuable Player, averaged 4.75 kills per set as the Matadors evened their season record at 4-4 with wins over UNLV (3-2), San Francisco (3-1), and Fresno State (3-0). She becomes the second CSUN player to earn Player of the Week honors this season (Iye Okolo – Defensive on Aug. 31) and first CSUN player to earn Big West Offensive Player of the Week since Amaris Smith on Sept. 2, 2024.
"When Hailey is on she's a really special player," head coach Aquiles Montoya said. "There was no doubt at times where the ball was going to go and she took over a couple sets for us during crunch time. While she won the Offensive Player of the Week, we really feel her skill in both the front row, back row and service line is what makes her so valuable to this team. I'm happy for her to be recognized by our conference and as the tournament MVP."
In CSUN's home opening five-set win over UNLV, the senior from Graham, Wash., led CSUN with a match-high 19 kills, hitting .333 on 45 swings, while adding 11 digs, three service aces and three block assists. In Saturday's 3-1 win over San Francisco, Brockway posted a career-high 26 kills Saturday as the Matadors claimed a 25-23, 25-14, 23-25, 25-20 win. She hit a career-best .345 on 55 swings while adding eight digs, two service aces and a block assist for a match-high 28.5 points. Brockway's previous career-high was 25 kills against Central Arkansas on Aug. 30. In Sunday's 3-0 sweep over Fresno State, Brockway tied for match-high honors with 12 kills.
CSUN wraps up non-conference play this week, traveling to LMU on Thursday at 6 p.m., before hosting the Lions on Saturday at 1 p.m.
