Utah State volleyball player Erin Cartwright-Davis was named the Big West Conference Player of the Week on Monday. Cartwright-Davis also won USU's Athlete of the Week award.

Cartwright-Davis, a senior middle blocker from Hyrum, Utah led the Aggies to a 2-0 record last week with wins against Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside. The two wins helped USU improve to 12-7 on the season and 5-4 in the Big West.

It is the third time in the last two years Cartwright-Davis has been named Big West Player of the Week as she won the award twice during the 2002 season. It is also the ninth time in the last three years that a Utah State student-athlete has received Player of the Week honors from the Big West Conference, and the second time this season as Zuzana Cernianska received the honor on Sept. 1.
