Freshman Torrey Van Winden of the UCLA women's volleyball team was voted the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for Oct. 10-16.

Van Winden, who was named Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, led the Bruins in kills in both victories, recording 33 (4.12 per set) to go with 18 digs (2.25 per set) and six blocks in eight sets. Last Wednesday at #16 Oregon, Van Winden had a match- and season-best 19 kills with a .341 hitting percentage. She added a career-high 12 digs for her first double-double, adding three blocks, including two solos. Van Winden came back two days later to again lead the Bruins in kills with 14 versus Oregon State. She produced a .444 percentage with only two miscues in 27 attempts to go with six digs and three blocks. Van Winden's .380 hitting percentage over the last two matches is over 100 points higher than her season average. She is third on the team with 2.76 kps and 3.18 points per set, adding 0.96 digs per set and 0.72 blocks per set. 

This is Van Winden's first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and of her career.

The UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week is chosen by fans on Twitter via @UCLAAthletics. This week, Van Winden beat out women's tennis player Ena Shibahara, who won the Oracle ITA Masters, and women's golfer Bronte Law, who claimed the Stanford Intercollegiate, her school-record, seventh-tournament victory.
