LAS VEGAS — Now 4-0 in conference play after a sweep of Air Force last weekend, UC Davis volleyball has taken home another sweep by claiming all three Old Trapper Mountain West Player of the Week awards on Monday, Oct. 5. Ally Chandler received the conference's Offensive Player of the Week award, Ximena Cordero Barr was named Defensive Player of the Week, and Gianna Bogan claimed Freshman of the Week honors.

Chandler has proven to be one of the most efficient players in the nation, currently sporting a .404 hitting percentage after going for over .500 in both matches against the Falcons. In Thursday's matchup, she ranked second on the team, getting the mark with 15 kills on 21 attempts for a .667 hitting percentage. She followed that up on Saturday with 11 kills on 19 attempts, good for a .526 hitting rate. With her .404 hitting percentage, she now leads all players in the Mountain West by nearly 30 points.

Her third defensive player honor of the season, Cordero Barr protected the backline with 41 digs across two contests for the Aggies. Thursday's match against Air Force saw her collect a season-high 25 digs, helping UC Davis secure its first sweep of the year. After 16 digs on Saturday, she's now up to 4.02 digs per set on the season, ranking her third in the conference in that category. Heading into next weekend's games, she now sits only 16 digs away from becoming the 12th player in program history with 1,000 career digs.

Now the second Aggie to be named Freshman of the Week this season, Bogan has proven to be a capable offensive weapon for UC Davis all season long. Thursday's match was a breakout moment for the player from Rocklin, who had a career-high 16 kills and .368 hitting percentage, leading the team in kills on their way to the first sweep of the year. Her high level of play continued on Saturday with 10 kills, her sixth contest of the year where she's gone for double-digits in that category.

These performances help lead the Aggies to be one of two teams left undefeated in conference play following the first two weeks of competition.
