The Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) office announced the Rize Laboratory CCC Players of the Week on Monday morning for the week of October 17th to 23rd, where the No. 3 Corban University Women's Volleyball team has become accustomed to seeing sophomore outside hitter Rylee Troutman's name being called for the Attacker of the Week award.
This is Troutman's third-straight week winning the award and her fifth overall for the year. As a team, Corban has now won this award six-straight weeks and has had a student-athlete named to the award eight of ten possible weeks thus far in the 2022 season.

"Rylee continues to show that she can be a continuous threat on the court!" Warriors' Head Coach Kim McLain said after learning of Troutman's award.
"She would tell you that it is due to the teammates she has behind her. I believe this is a testament to her consistent work, but most of all, the way she has been so giving to her teammates, wanting to see the best for all of them," McLain elaborated on Troutman's passion for her team.
In what has been an even bigger standout season thus far for the 2021 NAIA Honorable Mention All-American, Troutman's supremacy week in and week out over CCC opponents has tabbed herself as one of the most feared attackers in the conference, as she continues to dominate the CCC leaderboards on the attacking side.
With a full weekend of contests on her home court for the first time in nearly a month, Troutman logged a pair of 14-kill and 10-dig performances against the Southern Oregon University Raiders and Oregon Tech Owls. The results provided her with the 10th and 11th double-doubles of her season and expands her double-digit kill count to thirteen contests in a row.
The Powell Butte native now has 369 kills on the season, giving her an 80-kill lead in the CCC and a relatively equal lead in kills per set (4.15). She ranks 6th in the entire NAIA in kills per set and will look to build on that mark over the course of the last two weeks of the 2022 regular season.
In addition to the single-season numbers she has been posting on a nightly basis, Troutman becomes the first-ever Warrior to be awarded CCC Attacker of the Week in three-straight weeks and is just the second CCC student-athlete ever to do so (Taylor Ristvedt, SOU). She currently sits one award behind Ristvedt for the most Attacker of the Week awards in conference history.
Troutman and the No. 3 Warriors will play in their final road CCC games this upcoming weekend, as Corban is set to travel north to Northwest University and The Evergreen State College in Kirkland and Olympia of Washington, respectively. The Warriors will battle the Eagles at 7pm PDT on Friday night and the Geoducks at 5pm PDT the following evening.
