(Arlington, Texas - Oct. 30, 2024) - Junior outside hitter Kennedi Knudsen earned WAC Player of the Week honors, the conference announced on Wednesday afternoon.

Helping the Trailblazers earn a pair of wins in Texas last week, Knudsen paced the Blazers with a season-high 20 kills in a sweep over Abilene Christian on Oct. 24 and tallied a team-leading 11 kills against Tarleton State on Oct. 26.

Hitting a combined .301 in the pair of matches, Knudsen recorded a robust .400 against Abilene Christian and added six blocks on the week with four against ACU and two more against Tarleton State.

Knudsen recorded the most kills (20) in a three-set match by a WAC player and tied for the most points (22) in a three-set match by a conference player this season and notched her highest hitting percentage in a match, with a minimum 30 attacks, on the season with a .400 hitting percentage against ACU.

On the season, Knudsen has led the Trailblazers in kills in 18 of 20 matches and ranks fifth in the WAC in both kills (272) and kills per set (3.68).

The Trailblazers are back in action on Thursday night hosting Seattle U (5-15, 3-7 WAC) at Burns Arena at 6 p.m.
