STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford libero Morgan Hentz has been selected the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for the second consecutive week.
Hentz collected 5.86 digs per set as No. 2 Stanford defeated then-No. 24 Utah, 3-1, and Colorado, 3-0, on the road last week. The Lakeside Park, Kentucky, native had 26 digs against the Utes, one shy of her season-high, and followed up with 15 in the sweep over the Buffaloes. She also did not record a reception error in 31 combined attempts.
It marks the fifth career and fourth weekly honor of the season for Hentz. Stanford now has 111 player of the week honors all-time.
