AMES, Iowa – Iowa State’s freshman outside hitter Jess Schaben has been named the Big 12 Rookie of the Week, the conference announced Monday. The award marks her second conference Rookie of the Week award, making her the third Cyclone to win multiple Rookie of the Week honors, joining Jamie Straube (2009) and Andie Malloy (2012).

Schaben led the Iowa State offense in its sweep of Texas Tech Saturday at Hilton Coliseum. The Defiance, Iowa native recorded 12 kills, her ninth match this season with at least 10 kills, at a .393 hitting percentage. She was also strong on defense, posting a solo block and two block assists.

For the season, Schaben leads the Cyclones and ranks sixth in the Big 12 with 3.36 kills per set at a .284 hitting percentage. She has steadily been improving on her blocking, too, now averaging 0.44 blocks per set.

Schaben and the Cyclones are on the road for a pair of Big 12 matches this week. Iowa State takes on Oklahoma at 6 p.m. on Wednesday in a match that will be televised on ESPNU. The Cyclones then play No. 3 Texas Saturday at 7 p.m. in Austin on the Longhorn Network.
