SILVER CITY, N.M. – Western New Mexico University volleyball sophomore outside hitter/opposite hitter Isabella Brewer has been named the Lone Star Conference (LSC) Offensive Player of the Week, as announced by the conference Tuesday. The recognition marks Brewer's first conference weekly honor of the 2026 season following an impressive offensive performance that helped the Mustangs complete a perfect 3-0 week.

A native of Surprise, Arizona, Brewer played a key role in Western New Mexico's victories over New Mexico Highlands, St. Mary's and St. Edward's, leading the Mustangs offensively throughout the three-match stretch.

Brewer finished the week with 41 kills, averaging 3.42 kills per set while posting an impressive .388 hitting percentage. She recorded double-digit kills in all three matches while contributing 11 digs, three blocks and one service ace.

The sophomore opened the week with a 15-kill performance against New Mexico Highlands, hitting .400 while adding seven digs and one block in a four-set victory. She followed that performance with 10 kills on a .400 hitting percentage against St. Mary's, helping the Mustangs secure a three-set sweep of the Rattlers.

Brewer saved one of her strongest performances for the regular-season finale against St. Edward's, recording a career-high 16 kills while hitting .364 in a five-set victory. Her offensive production helped Western New Mexico secure the No. 8 seed in the Lone Star Conference Volleyball Championship and extend its winning streak to four consecutive matches.

Throughout the 2026 campaign, Brewer has provided a consistent offensive presence for the Mustangs. Appearing in all 29 matches and 95 sets, the sophomore has totaled 177 kills on a .245 hitting percentage, while adding 106 digs, 25 total blocks and 16 service aces. She has also contributed 206 points for Western New Mexico.

Brewer's late-season offensive surge has been particularly impressive, as she has recorded 49 kills over the Mustangs' last four matches while hitting .358 during that stretch. Her ability to generate offensive opportunities and deliver timely kills has played an important role in Western New Mexico's momentum heading into postseason competition.

The recognition adds another accomplishment to Brewer's sophomore campaign and highlights her contributions to the Mustangs' success on the court. Her strong performances helped Western New Mexico close the regular season with four consecutive victories as the team prepares for the Lone Star Conference Volleyball Championship.
