This week's "Pios of the Week" for the week ending 11/23 are Junior Dennis Estepp of Men's Basketball and Junior Ava Butt of Women's Bowling.

Dennis Estepp – Men's Basketball
Junior guard Dennis Estepp delivered a standout performance in Carroll's lone game of the week, an 85-76 battle against a receiving votes UW-Oshkosh on Nov. 22. Estepp scored 11 points and grabbed five rebounds while setting a career high with six steals, showcasing his defensive intensity against one of the region's top teams. His ability to disrupt passing lanes and create turnovers helped the Pioneers build a 10-point first-half lead and take a 40-38 advantage into halftime before the Titans rallied late. Estepp's all-around effort highlighted his impact on both ends of the floor as Carroll continues non-conference play.
Ava Butt – Women's Bowling
Junior Ava Butt led Carroll women's bowling to a dominant showing at the CCIW event, finishing second individually out of 54 competitors with a 194.75 average. Her performance paced the Pioneers to a perfect 6-0 record and the team title, as Carroll posted a two-day pinfall of 6,219 to top the field. Butt's consistency and ability to deliver in key frames were instrumental in the sweep, and her near-200 average marked one of the top performances of the season. The Pioneers also recorded the highest Baker match average of the tournament (177.7), reinforcing their depth and momentum heading into the winter stretch.
