STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford libero Morgan Hentz and middle blocker Holly Campbell have been selected the Pac-12 Defensive Player and Freshman of the Week, respectively.
Hentz averaged 6.00 digs per set in a pair of sweeps over then-No. 18 UCLA and then-No. 13 USC last week, helping the Cardinal extend its nation-best home winning streak to 25. The Lakeside Park, Kentucky, native had 18 digs in each match and moved into fifth place on the Cardinal's career digs list with 1,334. She has tallied double-digit digs in all 13 matches this season and leads the Pac-12 with 4.95 digs per set.
Campbell turned in 3.00 kills, 2.17 blocks and 4.08 points per set, while hitting .371 against the Bruins and Trojans. She registered a career-high 14 kills on .400 hitting with six blocks against UCLA. The Austin, Texas, native had four kills and seven blocks in the sweep over the Trojans. Campbell ranks third in the Pac-12 with 1.35 blocks per set this season.
It marks the fourth career and third weekly honor of the season for Hentz, while Campbell is being recognized for the first time. Stanford now has 110 player of the week honors all-time and 22 freshman awards.
