Long Beach, Calif. - Long Beach State picked up their third Big West Player of the Week award, coming from a third player this week as Brittney Herzog was honored by the conference. A junior, Herzog led the 49ers to a perfect 3-0 record last week.
A 6-0 middle blocker, Herzog had one of the best weeks in her career, leading the 49ers to three victories. Herzog started out the week with 11 kills on .579 hitting against Cal State Fullerton, not making a single attack error and adding 7 blocks. Herzog also chipped in six kills and four blocks in a three-set win over UC Santa Barbara.
Saving the best for last, the 49ers starter shined in a five-set win over Cal Poly. In a matchup between the top two teams in the conference standings, Herzog finished with a career-high 16 kills on .609 hitting, helping the 49ers pick up a much-needed road victory.
Herzog is the third 49er player to be honored with the weekly award this season. Quincy Verdin won the first award of her career two weeks ago, and Caitlin Ledoux won the award after leading the team in kills the first time The Beach played UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly.
