Vandal wins Big West honor Idaho senior Sarah Meek was chosen Big West Women’s Volleyball Player of the Week after her performances pushed her up in two of Idaho’s all-time rankings and helped the Vandals to an upset win over No. 13 UC Santa Barbara. In a three-game win over Cal Poly, Meek recorded a career-high four aces, had 14 kills and only two errors for a .600 hitting percentage, and became No. 6 on the Idaho all-time block assist list with her 328th career block assist.

Her 1,000th kill also came during that five-game upset victory, which became Meek’s 52nd double-figure kill match, ranking her No. 10 all-time at Idaho. This is Meek’s first Player of the Week honor and she is the first Vandal this season to receive the honor.
