TicketsCINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati volleyball freshman middle blocker Zeta Washington was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday.
The Ponte Vedra, Fla., native averaged 5.00 kills and 1.00 blocks per set while hitting .492 in a 3-0 weekend for the Bearcats. She finished the week leading Conference players in both points per set (5.86) and kills per set (5.00) while ranking third in hitting percentage (.492). She is the first Bearcat to procure a weekly Big 12 volleyball honor.
