OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton Volleyball junior Jaali Winters has been named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday.
It's the eighth career weekly honor from the BIG EAST for Winters, but the first time she's been honored solely for her defensive work. Winters is also the first player leaguewide to be honored as both the Offensive Player of the Week (Oct. 17) and the Defensive Player of the Week (Oct. 31) this season.
Winters averaged 4.57 digs per set last week to pace the Creighton defense in a pair of wins.
