Patch named FloVolleyball Player of the Week

PROVO, Utah – Junior opposite Ben Patch has been named the FloVolleyball Player of the Week, the organization announced Monday.

Patch led No. 4 BYU men’s volleyball to a series sweep against then-league leading No. 2 UCLA last week.

In a five-set thriller on Friday, he led both teams with a season-high 28 kills, more than double the amount of any other player on the court. He also hit at a .422 clip, had three blocks and added a career-high tying 11 digs (also most for either team) for just his second career double-double.

Then, in a sweep on Saturday, Patch had a match-high 13 kills while adding four digs, just one shy of the match high. On the week, he collected 5.13 kills per set on a .435 clip while adding 1.88 digs per set.

This is the first weekly award of the season for Patch and BYU men’s volleyball.
