SAN FRANCISCO – Senior libero Courtney Leffel was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for her strong performances in Arizona State volleyball's wins at Oregon State and Oregon over the weekend, her second time winning the weekly honor this season.
For Arizona State (15-12, 7-9 Pac-12) this award ties the most Pac-12 weekly awards earned in a single season. In 2012 and 1988, ASU also had three nods. Leffel is the first Sun Devil to earn Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week twice in one season, the second Sun Devil after Macey Gardner to earn a weekly award twice in one season.
