  • After a benchmark weekend at the net for Sacramento State, junior Skyler Gartin has been named Big West Defensive Player of the Week for Sept. 7. This is a first career weekly honor for Gartin.  

  • The middle blocker from Scottsdale, Ariz., also picked up All-Tournament honors at the Sacramento State Invitational after averaging 1.38 blocks and 1.69 kills per set in a three-win weekend on the home court. 

  • Gartin’s highlight match of the Invitational came in Sunday’s finale, posting a career-high 13 blocks in a five-set victory over Saint Mary’s. The baker’s dozen ties for the third-best mark in the Hornets’ Division I program history.  

  • Gartin’s play at the net was a huge part of a Sacramento State defense that limited its opponents to a combined .181 hitting percentage, also claiming wins against Nevada in five and a sweep over Texas Tech.
