Rigdon earns Big 12 honor

By Staff Reports     Oct 5, 2015

After leading a balanced Kansas University offense with 11 kills on 15 error-less swings in a three-set victory over West Virginia, KU sophomore outside hitter Madison Rigdon was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.

The Pflugerville, Texas, native recorded a .733 hitting percentage against WVU, a career high and a team high this season. Rigdon’s attack percentage led the Big 12 for the week, while her 3.7 kills per set are tied for third.

“Madison has been an efficient and consistent player for us all season,” Kansas head coach Ray Bechard said. “She had great numbers last week, but she has also been someone we can count on night-in and night-out. As an outside hitter, for her to get no errors in a match against a Big 12-level team speaks to her ability to make adjustments on the fly.”

No. 10 KU remains one of three undefeated teams in NCAA Division I. The Jayhawks (15-0, 3-0 Big 12) face Texas Tech (12-5, 1-2) at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas (WOW! Cable channels 36, 236).
