In addition to Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors received on Monday, ISU Libero Kristen Hahn was named as one of the NCAA’s Players of the Week on Wednesday.

Hahn led the Cyclones in their upset of No. 1 Nebraska with a season-high 26 digs. The junior from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is averaging 4.63 digs per set ranking her fourth in the Big 12.

Other players named to the NCAA’s weekly list were Kaitlynn Pelger of Kansas State and Jasmine Orozco of Pepperdine.

The win against the formerly undefeated Cornhuskers was the Cyclones first win against a No. 1 ranked team in school history. It was also only the second time Iowa State had defeated Nebraska, with the previous time being in Lincoln in 2009 with a 3-2 ISU victory.

Iowa State will return to the Hilton Coliseum court on Saturday as it opens Big 12 play against Baylor at 6:30 p.m.
