Williams averaged 5.57 kills per set on a .338 attack percentage last week to lead the Beach
IRVINE, Calif. – Long Beach State's junior outside hitter Kashauna Williams has been on a roll as she was named Big West Conference Player of the Week for the third time this season after leading the Beach to a pair of wins last week.
Williams averaged a whopping 5.57 kills per set on a .338 hitting percentage as she guided Long Beach State to a 3-0 sweep of San Diego State and a four-set victory over No. 21 San Diego. She knocked down 19 kills against the Aztecs and followed that performance with her fifth 20-kill performance of the season against the Toreros.
With Williams leading the offensive charge, Long Beach State earned its first win over a nationally-ranked team since 2016. It also marked the first top-25 victory in the Joy McKienzie-Fuerbringer era, and was the first of the season for any Big West squad.
Williams has been solid all season leading the Big West in kills (4.77) and points (5.10) per set, total attacks (459), total kills (205), and total points (219.5). Her total points and kills tallies rank her on the top 10 in the nation.
Long Beach State will be back in action on Friday, September 24 when they kick off the conference season against Cal Poly at 7 p.m. at the Walter Pyramid. The match will be broadcast on ESPN+.
