Kylee McLaughlin Named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week

SAN FRANCISCO – Oregon State setter Kylee McLaughlin has been named as the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week for the second week in a row, the conference announced on Monday. It is McLaughlin's third award of the season.

McLaughlin, who is studying biology, directed a diverse attack for the Beavers' offense leading her squad to a weekend sweep of the Washington schools, including a five-set thriller over the then-No. 10 Huskies. McLaughlin was effective spreading the offense around with four different OSU players recording double-digit kills and added a career-high six kills of her own against the Huskies. Against the Cougars, McLaughlin directed three more players to double-digit kills in the Beavers' four-set win.

McLaughlin's award is the 11th Pac-12 Freshman of the Week in OSU history and her third of the season.

She is the third player in OSU history to earn multiple Freshman of the Week awards, joining Mary-Kate Marshall, who earned five in 2014, and Arica Nassar, who was a two-time selection in 2011

The Beavers remain at home this week to host No. 19 UCLA on Wednesday at 1 p.m., and No. 24 Oregon on Friday at 7 p.m. The Civil War match will be televised on Pac-12 Oregon.
