Players of the Week (9/3/25)

The following players have earned POW honors. Links to their articles are attached to the conference name when available. Previous winners will be retained at the bottom of the article. The AVCA Player of the Week is also included below. I really try NOT to comment on the selections. This is a tough job and I appreciate that I don’t have to do it. With that said, I will slip a time or two and it’s usually with the AVCA. I think that body should recognize the best of the BEST. The second BEST being just as important as the first best. The AVCA tends to treat statistics the same regardless of the opponent for this award. It’s a different approach then for their All-Region and All-American awards. For instance, it’s very common for the AVCA to have a Player of the Year that was never Player of the Week. Just really strange but I always hold out hope it will be different. (I would hold my breath, but I would die.) (Update – The AVCA did just fine this week.)
