Week for the second consecutive
week (Oct. 3, Oct. 10) and receives

(6.13 kps) on .381 hitting. Fields set
new career marks with 27 kills and
29.0 points against the Sun Devils

season and 16 in double digits.
Fields also posted 13 digs against
Arizona and 12 more against ASU

over the weekend while collecting
the fifth and sixth double-doubles of
her career.
