Baker picks up WAC weekly honors

DENVER, Colo. – Sam Houston libero Hannah Baker earned weekly honors from the WAC for the second time this season on Monday when she was named both the WAC Defensive Player and Freshman of the Week, per a release from league officials.

Baker also earned WAC Freshman of the Week honors after her effort at the Maverick Classic earlier in the season, but these nods came after a pair of wins over Tarleton and Abilene Christian to kick off league play.

She averaged 6.86 digs per set in the wins, picking up 24 digs each in victories over the Texans and Wildcats. It marked the eighth and ninth times this season she has surpassed 20 digs, a total that also includes 44 earlier this season in a 5-set win over Tulsa that tied an SHSU single-match record.

Baker currently leads the WAC with 5.12 digs per set this season.

She and the rest of the Bearkats will now host rival Stephen F. Austin on Friday night at Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum. The match is set for a 6:30 p.m. first serve and will be aired on ESPN+.
