HELENA -- Montana Tech sophomore Talan Dodson earned the final Erck Hotels/Frontier Conference volleyball offensive player of the week award of the season, the Frontier office announced Monday.
Dodson, an outside hitter from San Antonio, Texas, hit .247 on the week as the Orediggers topped MSU-Northern and Providence on the road to close out the regular season. The wins helped Tech wrap up the No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference tournament.
She began her weekend with a 17-kill, six-dig effort in the Orediggers' four-set win at Northern. Dodson also had a block in the match.
On Saturday in Great Falls, she put down 11 kills to go with two blocks as Tech took a five-set thriller from defending conference champion Providence.
She finished the regular season with 272 kills, the third-most on the team, and has double-digit kills in her last eight matches.
Dodson is the sixth Montana Tech volleyball player to earn a conference player of the week distinction this season. It is the first weekly award of her Oredigger career.
Montana Tech takes the second seed into this week's Frontier Conference tournament at the Carroll College PE Center in Helena. The Orediggers will take on seventh-seeded Bismarck State in the 5 p.m. quarterfinal Thursday.
