For the second time in three weeks, Dixie State senior middle blocker Lindsay Garrett was named Pacific West Conference Volleyball Defender of the Week on Monday for her efforts in the Trailblazers two home victories last week.

Garrett (6-foot-2; St. George, Utah/Desert Hills HS), who earned her first honor of the year back on Sept. 26, collected seven block assists and a career-high seven digs, along with 13 kills, in DSU’s 3-1 win over Notre Dame de Namur Oct. 3. Then last Saturday vs. Azusa Pacific, she recorded one solo block and five block assists in the Trailblazers’ three-set sweep of the Cougars. Garrett enters play this week second in the PacWest in total blocks per set at 1.16 bps.

PacWest leading Dixie State (11-4, 7-0 PacWest) takes its season-high nine-match winning streak on its annual Hawaiian road swing this week, starting with its final road match at BYU-Hawaii on Friday, Oct. 14. DSU will also play at Hawai'i Pacific on Saturday, Oct. 15, and at Hawai'i Hilo on Monday, Oct. 17.
