The awards continued to roll in for libero Kristen Hahn on Monday.

For the third consecutive week, Hahn was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week, marking the first time that has ever happened in ISU history.

Last week, Hahn collected 48 digs in two matches — including a season-high 33 digs against Kansas — for a 6.00 digs per set average. In three conference matches this season, Hahn has averaged 6.08 digs per set. 

During the previous two weeks, Hahn collected more than 25 digs in matches against both Nebraska and Baylor to earn the honor. This season, Hahn is currently averaging 4.96 digs per set. 

With her three awards in the last three weeks, the junior has now been named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week seven times in her career. She is tied for fourth all-time in ISU history for weekly conference awards with former men’s basketball player Curtis Stinson.
