Athletes are frequently described as being able to "do it all," but many times prove to be one-dimensional on the field of play. Chico State volleyball standout Torey Thompson has proven over the last two-and-a-half years that she can contribute to her team's success in a variety of ways, and the junior setter did just that in last week's matches vs. Stanislaus State, Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State Monterey Bay. Her multi-pronged prowess on the court has earned Thompson Wildcat of the Week honors.
Â
All told, Thompson racked up 133 assists, averaging 11.08 assists per set, while also contributing 14 kills, 37 digs (averaging 3.08 digs per set) and a pair of blocks to the Wildcats' attack.
Â
Thompson began the week with a 28-assist, 10-dig effort against Stanislaus, then followed it up by posting a triple-double (55 assists, 14 digs and a career-high 10 kills) Friday against Cal Poly Pomona. Thompson wrapped up her productive week with three kills, 50 assists, 13 digs and a solo block in the Wildcats' four-set victory Saturday against Cal State Monterey Bay.
Â
Thompson also joined an exclusive club in the Chico State volleyball record books over the weekend, becoming just the fourth setter in Wildcat history to collect 3,000 career assists.
Â
Thompson and the Wildcats hit the road for a single match this week, traveling to Southern California to take on Cal State San Marcos.
