FORT COLLINS — Colorado State sophomore middle blocker Alexandra Poletto had a career night at the net Saturday, leading to her selection as Mountain West defensive player of the week in volleyball.
It is the second weekly honor for Poletto, who was the offensive player of the week two weeks ago.
Poletto had a career-best nine blocks in a sweep over New Mexico on Saturday, including a career-best five solo blocks. Three of them came in a run in the third set when the Rams scored five straight to build a 15-10 lead, three of those points coming off Poletto solo blocks.
