Top 3 Ranked Teams Earn State Women's Volleyball Player of the Week #6

Feather River College, San Diego Mesa and San Joaquin Delta, the three top teams in this week's State Top 25, have all earned the CCCWVCA State Players of the Week #6.

FRC, the state's No. 1 ranked team, picked up accolades for outside hitter Carol Manu, a 6-foot sophomore from St. Ignatius College Preparatory in San Francisco. Manu helped the Golden Eagles to a 3-1 record as she scored 65 kills, including 19 in the team's 5-set loss v. Taft that ended the team's 19-match win streak to open the season. Manu added 46 digs, eight blocks, and five aces.

Feather River received its third State POTW this season, the other two going to 2024 state tourney MVP Chloe Albiez in weeks #1 and 3.

Mesa, which rose to #2 in the Top 25, got the nod for middle blocker Isabella Barrios, a 5-9 middle blocker from Helix High in San Diego. Barrios helped the Olympians to three straight sweeps as she totaled 19 kills, hitting .545 with 16 blocks and two aces. Her .424 overall attack percentage is fourth best in the state.

Delta, the #3 rated team in California, received recognition for setter Paige Taylor, a 5-5 sophomore from Oakdale High. Taylor dished out 102 assists in two Mustangs victories as she set 59 helpers in a 4-set win over Sacramento City. Taylor is the state leader in assists per set at 11.81.
