SAN FRANCISCO – Washington State's Magda Jehlářová was selected as the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for the week of Oct. 7-Oct. 13 as announced by the Pac-12 Conference office Monday.

The freshman middle from Prerov, Czech Republic continued to be a dominate defensive force for the Cougars, as WSU picked up wins at home over both Oregon and Oregon State. The victory over the Ducks was the first inside Bohler Gym since 2005, and the Cougars sweeping both Oregon schools at home last happened in 2002 as well. She went on to post 14 total blocks in the two matches, 1.75 blocks per set, and added 17 kills and a hitting percentage of .400 overall to help fuel WSU to victory. 

Magda recorded seven total blocks in match number one of the week against Oregon, three of which were solo blocks. She added four block assists to her stat sheet, on top of providing seven kills and a hitting percentage of .300 during the contest. Jehlářová only continued to up her game as the week went on, with an additional seven total blocks versus Oregon State, six of which were block assists. Magda was a dominate on offense as well Sunday afternoon, totaling 10 kills while hitting .533 overall on the day. She currently leads the Pac-12 in solo blocks with 18 on the year, and leads the conference in total blocks with 99 overall as well. 

Washington State returns to action Friday, Oct. 18, as the Cougars will host Arizona in a Pac-12 match, slated for a 7 p.m. start inside Bohler Gym.
