BOULDER — Colorado freshman Ava Priest picked up her first career Defensive Player of the Week honor as announced by the Pac-12 Conference on Monday.
The Boulder, Colo., native, was shifted to the Colorado backline this past week and helped the Buffaloes extend their winning streak to six games with wins at New Mexico and against Colgate. Priest, who had been playing on the Colorado attack, was shifted to the backline for the first time this season.
Priest totaled three points last week, picking up a goal and an assist.
