Drake's Ashlynn Kuhn has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Volleyball Freshman of the Week, the league announced Monday, Sept. 19.
Kuhn, a native of Hudson, Iowa, led Drake at the net with 14 total blocks for a 1.27 blocks per set average to lead the Bulldogs to the Jackrabbit Classic title last weekend with wins over Idaho, Southeastern Louisiana and South Dakota State. Her performance also earned her a spot on the Jackrabbit Classic All-Tournament team and held Drake's opponents to just .109 hitting on the weekend.
She had seven blocks in the five-set win over Southeastern Louisiana and closed the weekend with three blocks in three sets against South Dakota State.
