In 2012, Hahn, a two-time All-American and two-time Big 12 Libero of the Year, led the Big 12 with 5.44 digs per set last year, as well as leading Iowa State with 32 service aces. Hurtt was named to the All-American Honorable Mention team after being unanimously selected to the All-Big 12 team.

Bigbee was named the 2012 Big 12 Freshman of the Year while starting 24 times for the Cyclones and averaging 2.77 kills per set, the second best average on the team.

The athletes elected to the preseason All-Big 12 team are voted to the team by the conference’s coaches.
