WALNUT CREEK, CA -- Arizona State junior Karin Volpe been named Pac-10 Women’s Soccer Player of the Week for Aug. 24-31, Commissioner Larry Scott announced today. Volpe was a  member of MDSL Fury coached by Brian Voltattorni and a graduate of Clayton Valley High School.

This is the first weekly honor for Volpe, and Arizona State’s 12th Pac-10 Player of the Week all-time.
