Santa Barbara City College sophomore setter Madelon Leiphardt is the Western State Conference Female Athlete of the Week for Week #3.

At the Brahma Invite, Leiphardt and Santa Barbara knocked off State #16 LA Pierce in four sets, a match that saw Leiphardt hand out 36 assists. More impressively though was Leiphardt’s performance against previously undefeated and State #8 Golden West College. The Vaqueros knocked the Rustlers off in a close five sets, with Leiphardt passing out a season high 50 assists and picking up seven digs. Santa Barbara City College moved up two spots in the State Poll this week thanks to their performance over the weekend, checking in at #8. Leiphardt came to Santa Barbara from Goleta, CA where she attended Dos Pueblos High School.
