Men’s volleyball senior opposite Evan Romero was named the MPSF co-Player of the Week along with UC-Irvine’s Carson Clark. It is Romero’s first conference award of the season.

Romero had 50 kills and 10 digs in two important wins over No. 3 Pepperdine and No. 6 USC over the weekend. He had 37 kills in the Pepperdine match — a career high and one off the national high for the season. Romero’s kills were important, as five of them came in the fifth set.

For the weekend, Romero hit .422 in his final two regular season matches at home. The two victories brought Stanford one win away from a No. 1 seed in the MPSF Tournament. The Cardinal has two regular season matches left — at UCLA on Friday and at UC-Irvine on Saturday.
