Wisconsin Badgers outside hitter Sarah Franklin was named Big Ten Player of the Week, her first as a Badger as she helped her team to two more sweeps.
The award is Franklin’s third of her career, with the first two coming during her time at Michigan State.
Franklin helped the Badgers to a 2-0 weekend sweep over Rutgers and Maryland and tallied 34 kills (34-9-78) on the weekend. The Florida native averaged 5.67 kills per set, hit .321, and added five service aces. Against Maryland alone, Franklin had a match-high 18 kills, according to UW Communications.
