TicketsCINCINNATI — Cincinnati volleyball placed two players on the Big 12’s Week 9 awards list. Outside hitter Sydney Nolan earned Offensive Player of the Week, and libero Viktoria Ninova was named to the Big 12 Starting Seven, the conference announced Tuesday.
Nolan and Ninova helped lead the Bearcats to a 2-0 week, as they swept Kansas State 3-0 and beat Arizona 3-2. Nolan, a Florence, Ky., native, averaged 5.25 kills per set with a .298 hitting percentage. Ninova, who is from Sofia, Bulgaria, posted 5.25 digs per set.
Nolan put on a show against Arizona, piling up a career-best 30 kills, the most by a conference player this season and her sixth match with 20 or more kills. Against Kansas State, she totaled 16 kills with a .417 hitting percentage.
Ninova dominated the back row against Arizona, posting a career-high 34 digs, the most by a conference player in a match this season. She led a defensive effort that produced 110 team digs, the most by a Big 12 team this season and the most in program history in the rally scoring era.
Both players are among the conference’s best this season. Nolan ranks fifth in the Big 12 and 16th nationally with 4.43 kills per set, and Ninova ranks fourth in the Big 12 with 3.76 digs per set.
