Frontier Conference honors Scott and Alessi again

11-6-07

Lewis-Clark State College volleyball players Lindsay Scott and Cintia Alessi have been received weekly honors from the Frontier Conference again, and Scott has earned Region I honors as well. 

For the third consecutive week, Scott has been named the conference’s Libero of the Week. The 5-foot-8 junior from Kennewick, Wash., also was selected as the Region I’s Libero of the Week and is now eligible for national Libero of the Week honors. 

Scott helped the Warriors wrap up the Frontier Conference regular season title on the road last weekend with 3-0 sweep over Montana-Western and Montana Tech. Scott averaged 4.75 digs per game and had four service aces. 

For the third time this season Alessi has been honored by the conference, this time as its Player of the Week. The 5-9 junior outside hitter from Curtiba, Brazil helped the Warriors claim their first conference title since 2003. In the two matches last week, she averaged 3.5 kills per game with a .260 hitting percentage. She had 19 digs, six service aces, one solo block and two block assists. 

It’s only fitting the two players were honored at the same time. A pulled stomach muscle forced Alessi to move from the front row to the libero early in the season and she was twice named the FC’s Libero of the Week. Her move back to the front row coincided with Scott taking over at libero and winning the award three consecutive weeks. 

The Warriors resume action on Friday when they open the Frontier Conference tournament in Billings, Mont., against No. 8 seed Montana-Western at noon Pacific time.
