November 04, 2025 | Volleyball
IRVING, Texas – Colorado volleyball junior pin attacker Ana Burilovic (Split, Croatia/V. Gimnasium "Vladimir Nazor") was named Big 12 Volleyball Offensive Player of the Week, the Conference announced Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Burilovic earns her second career weekly recognition for conference Offensive Player of the Week. In last week's matchup against Northern Colorado, Burilovic led the match with 30 kills, hitting .329 (6e, 73att), nine digs, one ace and two blocks (Oct. 28). She becomes the second player to earn two matches with 30 or more kills in one season for Colorado. Against then-No. 18 Baylor, Burilovic saw another 18 kills, three aces, four digs, an assist and a block (Oct. 31). With her third ace of the match against BU, Burilovic became the rally-scoring career leader in aces, bringing her total to 106 and counting.
In the Big 12, Burilovic currently ranks first in points per set (5.66), which is good for sixth in the NCAA. She is also first in kills per set (4.86), as well as second in service aces per set (0.45) in the Big 12. She is eighth in kills per set and 37th for aces per set in the NCAA. As a team, the Buffs are third in conference for aces per set (1.56), fourth for hitting percentage (.258), fifth for blocks per set (2.58) and sixth for points per set (17.26).
The Colorado volleyball team is ranked in the AVCA Coaches' Poll for the eighth week this season, now at 20th. The Buffs notched their third win over a ranked team last week with then-No. 18 Baylor and saw a nonconference victory over in-state rival Northern Colorado. CU is back on the road this week at No. 13 Kansas on Nov. 6 at 5 p.m. MT, and at Kansas State on Nov. 8 at 12 p.m. MT. Both matches will be streamed on ESPN+, and fans can follow along via stats links on CUBuffs.com.
