Oklahoma’s Callie Kemohah (Osage) Named the Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week

For the first time in program history, Oklahoma volleyball swept the Big 12’s weekly awards, announced by the conference office Tuesday.
 
Sophomore opposite/outside hitter Megan Wilson was named the Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season, while sophomore libero Callie Kemohah (Osage) was named the Defensive Player of the Week and freshman middle blocker Morgan Perkins was named the Rookie of the Week.

The award marks the third Defensive Player of the Week nod and first this season for Kemohah, who continues to power the OU defense from the back row. She currently leads the conference and Sooners this season in digs per set (5.24) and total digs (220). Also, tied for second with the Sooners for total service aces and sits in third for service aces per set with 0.891.
 
Kemohah had another great defensive last week, leading the conference in digs per set (5.33) while also adding 48 digs last week – Abilene Christian (17), Texas Southern (14) and Nevada (17). In addition, she added 14 assists last week, including six against Nevada last Friday, which is just two shy from her career-high.
