The decision was as close to a no-brainer as one gets.
The only real issue for the Mountain West was which one of the weekly honors to give Colorado State senior Dri Culbert after she recorded the fifth triple-double of her season in a sweep of Wyoming and notching the school's and conference's first quadruple-double in a four-set road victory over San Jose State.
The conference went with the defensive player of the week for Culbert, which give the preseason player of the year and two-time honorable mention All-American a matching set after winning the offensive award the first week of the season.
