FARMINGTON, Utah (November 8, 2021) – The Northern Arizona volleyball team limited their two opponents last week to a combined .129 hitting percentage, and sophomore
Millie O'Ketter was the anchor behind it. As a result, O'Ketter was named the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday – her first career conference honor.
O'Ketter averaged 4.29 digs per set, and totaled 30 digs, in NAU's two home victories over Southern Utah and Sacramento State last week.
After recording 12 digs in the victory against Southern Utah last Thursday, O'Ketter was instrumental in NAU snapping Sacramento State's six-match winning streak on Saturday. She notched 18 digs in helping keep the Hornets to only a .156 attack clip.
The libero from Durango, Colo. ranks fourth in the conference in digs at 3.87 per set, in addition to ranking fourth with an average of 4.43 digs per set in conference matches.
O'Ketter is the second Lumberjack to earn Big Sky Player of the Week honors this season following junior
Taylor Jacobsen's offensive award on Sept. 27.
