BELLINGHAM, Wash. - Western Washington University libero Samantha Hutchinson has been named Red Lion/Great Northwest Athletic Conference Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week for Sept. 9-15.

Hutchinson, a sophomore from University Place (graduate of Curtis High School), had 35 digs as the Vikings held their opponents to a .098 hitting percentage in sweeps of Montana State Billings and defending GNAC champion Seattle Pacific.

Hutchinson also had three aces as WWU had a 28-11 point advantage from the service line, including an 18-2 edge in aces.

It is the second straight week that Hutchinson has earned the honor. She received honorable mention recognition three weeks ago.
