MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State setter Sarah Dixon was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week after posting a career high in assists and leading the Wildcat offense to a league-best hitting percentage, the conference office announced Monday.
Dixon reached the 40-assist plateau in all three of K-State's matches at the Marcia E. Hamilton Classic at Saint Louis. The redshirt junior set a career high with 46 assists in the Cats' four-set win over the Billikens Saturday and led the conference with 11.55 assists/set for the week.
