Fanning and Wulf honored after standout match against Oklahoma
IRVING, Texas – Redshirt junior Shelly Fanning was tabbed the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for the second-straight week while junior Tara Wulf earned Defensive Player of the Week, announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.
Fanning earns her sixth career weekly honor from the conference and a team-leading fourth offensive award this season while Wulf earns her first career honor. The Bears earn two weekly recognitions for the first time in 2018.
In a four-set road win over Oklahoma last Saturday, Fanning dominated with a league-leading 6.00 kills per set and 7.12 points per set.
She posted a career-high 24 kills on 46 attempts against the Sooners, recording the most kills in a four-set Big 12 match this season. She currently leads the league in hitting percentage (.402).
Wulf earns her first weekly award after leading the conference in digs per set (7.00). With an impressive 28-dig performance on Saturday, she matched the league-high mark in a conference four-set match and came within one dig of matching her career high (29). Wulf helped BU lead the Big 12 in digs per set with 22.75 last week.
Fanning and Wulf's honors bring the 2018 weekly award total to seven. The 2017 squad compiled a program-record 15 honors in a single season.
Baylor hosts Iowa State for a midweek matchup Wednesday at 7 p.m. CT inside the Ferrell Center in Waco. The match will air on FCS-Pacific and the FOX Sports GO App with John Morris and Katie Staiger on the call.
