LAS VEGAS — 28 kills and a 2-0 start to conference play gives UC Davis volleyball's Isabella Umpierre another Old Trapper Mountain West Volleyball Player of the Week nod, being named the conference's Freshman of the Week on Monday, Sept. 28. This is the third time Umpierre has received Freshman of the Week honors and her fourth honor overall, also becoming the conference's Offensive Player of the Week back on Sept. 14.

In two games against UNLV last weekend, Umpierre served as an all-around contributor for UC Davis, grabbing 28 kills, 26 digs, six blocks, and four aces across two contests of action.

Thursday's five-set thriller saw her leading the offense with 16 kills along with 11 digs, also dropping in three aces. She stepped up her defensive game even further on Saturday with 15 digs and five total blocks, a career-high for the freshman. With 12 kills as well, she collected her fifth double-double of the season.

With 3.11 kills per set, Umpierre continues to pace the Aggies offense while also being ranked fifth in the Mountain West in that category. She also sits fifth in points per set in the conference at 3.61. 

This honor also makes Umpierre the most decorated player in the Mountain West through the first month of the season.
