Clarke Godbold Award Offensive Player of the Week Week Of 1/30/2023 Sport Men's Volleyball School Long Beach State Year Junior Position Hometown San Pedro, Calif. High School Palos Verdes Peninsula HS Clarke Godbold is The Big West Offensive Player of the Week for the first time on the strength of a career-high-tying 17 kills in a come-from-behind 3-1 win for No. 3 Long Beach State at No. 4 Penn State last Wednesday night. Godbold hit .286 (17-7-35) to share the match high in kills, and also contributed four block assists and a set assist for a career-best 19.0 total points to lead all players. The result kept the Beach’s record unblemished at 5-0 following a perfect three-match road trip to the East Coast. It also marked the Nittany Lions’ (6-1) first loss of 2023 and snapped their regular-season home win streak at 21. Godbold’s other 17-kill output came in a 3-0 home sweep over No. 2 UCLA on Feb. 11, 2022. The third-year junior opposite from San Pedro was the 2021 Big West Freshman of the Year and a 2022 All-Big West First Team and AVCA All-America Second Team selection. Godbold was previously The Big West Defensive Player of the Week on Jan. 24, 2022, and the back-to-back-to-back Big West Freshman of the Week on March 29, April 5, and April 12 of the 2021 season. This is LBSU’s first offensive honor of the new campaign.
