WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Husky senior Jenna Hagglund was named Pac-10 Women's Volleyball Player of the Week for the week of Sept. 13-19, Commissioner Larry Scott announced today. The two-time All-American senior setter was named Most Valuable Player of the Pittsburgh Blue and Gold Invitational over the weekend, as the ninth-ranked Huskies swept three matches against Pittsburgh, Eastern Illinois and Robert Morris. A West Chester, Ohio, native, Hagglund averaged 12.80 assists per game in the tournament and was perfect with nine kills on nine attempts. She led a Washington offense that hit .370 over the three matches. On Friday against Eastern Illinois, Hagglund matched her career high with five kills on five attempts with six digs and three blocks. The next day, she had a season-high 42 assists against Robert Morris and added three more kills. It is Hagglund's third-career Pac-10 Player of the Week honor and her first since winning the honor on Oct. 13, 2008. It is also the 29th weekly recognition for Washington all-time. Hagglund is the first non-outside hitter to win the award this year. Second in career assists at Washington with 4,397, Hagglund needs 156 more assists to enter the Pac-10 career Top-10 list. The Huskies begin Pac-10 play by traveling to the Oregon schools. Washington plays at Oregon State on Friday and at Oregon on Saturday.
