In total, Lanier posted 38 kills for an average of 4.22 kills per set on a .319 hitting clip and 23 digs that includes a double-double in the team’s win over Colorado for her sixth of the year.
In the team’s upset over Utah, Lanier put down 17 kills and nine digs while recording 21 kills, four aces and 14 digs in the win over Colorado. The wins helped the Trojans move up to #14 from #17 in the AVCA Coaches Poll.
In addition, Lanier picked up the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week for her performances this week.
