Brook Billings, a 6-5 senior outside hitter on USC's men's volleyball team, has been named the AVCA/Sports Imports Division I/II National Player of the Week on April 15 after leading his team to a 1-1 split last week.
It is the third such honor in his career, having also done so in 1999 and 2000.
Billings averaged 8.28 kills (.484 hitting percentage), 1.86 digs and 0.57 blocks in seven games last week. He totaled 22 kills on a .514 hitting percentage, six digs and two blocks in a three-game loss to No. 7 Stanford. Billings contributed 36 kills while hitting .464 in a four-game win over No. 14 Pacific to end his collegiate career with 2,075 kills. The 36 kills matched an NCAA season high for a four-game match set by two other players and was one kill shy of the overall NCAA single-match list this year. He added seven digs, two blocks and two aces in the win over Pacific. Billings' 8.28 kill average last week nearly doubled his season average of 4.67 per game.
