Hillegas won the award Monday after registering 67 digs in three games this past weekend. Fifty-five of those digs came during the Bluejay Invitational in games against Creighton and Wichita State. The Wichita State game was Hillegas’ third 30-dig game of the season.

This is the eighth time in her career Hillegas has won Big 12 Defensive Player Week, which moves her ahead of former-Cyclone Caitlin Nolan for fourth-most in Big 12 history.

Hillegas currently leads the Big 12 with 5.78 digs per set, which also puts her at No. 14 in the NCAA.
