Allison Martinez Player of the Year 2017<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

From STAFF REPORTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reigning two-time Pasadena Sports Now Girls Volleyball Player of the Year, Allison Martinez, has continued to excel even after leaving the friendly confines of the Westridge School in Pasadena.<\/p>\n

Martinez and her fellow Tigers won back-to-back Prep League championships and made consecutive trips to the CIF-SS semifinals, and did so in two different divisions.<\/p>\n

Martinez has set records at the school that will never come close to being broken, including over 2,000 career kills.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a pair of wins in the LBSU-Mizuno Invitational, and her stellar play on the court, Martinez was named the Big West Conference Freshman Player of the Week.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot outside hitter finished the week with 18 kills, 5 blocks and 3 digs.<\/p>\n

Martinez was at her best in the victory over Fresno State, when she had 12 kills in just 15 attempts and just one attack error.<\/p>\n

She is second in the conference with a .370 hitting percentage.<\/p>\n

Long Beach State opens conference play today (Tuesday) when they host UC Riverside at 7.<\/p>\n
