SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — For the second time this season, Pepperdine women's volleyball freshman Tristen Raymond was deemed the West Coast Conference Setter of the Week by the conference on Monday.
This is the fourth weekly conference award for the Waves and the second for Raymond in the last month.
"Tristen led our offense this week distributing the ball for an impressive .322 this past weekend," Head Coach Scott Wong said. "What impresses me even more is her ability to compete at all times!"
In Pepperdine's road sweeps against Seattle and Portland, Raymond finished with 50 assists total, averaging 8.33 per set. She recorded her seventh-career double-double with a 24-assist, 10-dig night against Seattle. Two days later against Portland, she stuffed the stat sheet with 26 assists, nine digs, three blocks, three aces and two kills.
With Raymond running the offense, the Waves hit over .300 in both matches. The Waves' .346 hitting percentage against Seattle and their .301 hitting percentage against Portland rank as the team's third and fourth-highest percentages this season, respectively.
The Peoria, Ariz. native has proven herself to be an all-around contributor for the Waves in her debut season. She currently ranks 10th in the WCC with 364 assists and 5.69 assists per set, plus her 26 service aces are tied for the third most in the WCC. Raymond is one of three players to be named WCC Setter of the Week multiple times, joining Kylie Munday of San Diego and Macy Hinshaw of Santa Clara — both of whom are sophomores.
Raymond and the Waves host Oregon State next Thursday at 6 p.m. All schedule updates can be found on the women's volleyball team's schedule page on pepperdinewaves.com.
