USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Air Force junior Taylor Parker was named Air Force's co-Athlete of the Week on Monday, Oct. 27, after leading the volleyball team to conference victories over San Jose State and Nevada. Parker hit .524 for the week, while recording a career-high total in kills and debuting on the program's Division I list for assisted blocks.
Parker, a native of Bozeman, Mont., hit a match-best .571 against San Jose State on Oct. 23, recording a career-high 13 kills on 21 attempts, while committing just one error. She also recorded six blocks during the contest (one solo, five assisted), which matches the squad's best single-match performance of the season. With the five assisted blocks, Parker debuted in 10th on the program's Division I career list (119).
The junior improved her kill total the next match, accounting for 14 scores against Nevada during a .476 hitting performance (14k-4e-21a). Parker also recorded a pair of assisted blocks during the contest to move into ninth on the Division I list (121).
Parker shared the athletic department's weekly honor with Ryan Dunne of the men's swimming team.
The Falcons return to action this Thursday (Oct. 30), when they travel to Utah State.
