This is the seniors second award in three weeks
Washington State middle backer Magda Jehlárová was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week on Monday following the Cougs victories over Oregon State and #6 Oregon. This is the second award in three weeks for Jehlárová. The Cougs (14-1) jumped from #7 to #4 following the two wins.
Jehlárová finished with 22 kills, 11 blocks, and 4.3 points per set over the weekend. She finished the first match with 10 kills, 4 blocks, and 4.5 points per set on Friday in the victory over the Beavers. On Sunday against the Ducks, she finished with 7 blocks and 12 kills while averaging 4.1 points per set.
This is her 11th weekly award of her career which sets a new Pac-12 record for most awards won in a career. She takes the top spot from former Washington Husky Krista Vansant.
Jehlárová and the rest of the Cougs will look to continue their winning ways on Friday with a home match against California at 7:00 pm and then again on Sunday against #3 Stanford at noon. Both games will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.
The upcoming match against the Cardinal will be their second top-5 matchup of the year and will look to have a different outcome this time after dropping all three sets to #4 Louisville. They are 4-1 against ranked opponents and have dropped just 4 sets outside of the 3 to Louisville back on August 26th.
