ROSEMONT, Ill. – Freshman setter Teodora Kričković capped off a fantastic weekend for the Indiana volleyball team on Monday (Oct. 6) afternoon. She was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week after helping lead the Hoosiers to a pair of ranked wins over No. 17 USC and No. 24 UCLA. It's her second weekly honor of the season but her first Big Ten Freshman of the Week nod.
The Novi Sad, Serbia native helped run a fantastic offense late in both of the matches. On the weekend, she offered up 9.63 assists per set and 2.00 digs per set. Kričković helped senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum to 31 kills in California and a hitting percentage north of .360. The Serbian also had a career high six kills against USC.
Kričković had 44 assists in Saturday's win against UCLA, her fifth match of the season with at least 40 helpers. On the year, she's seventh in the NCAA with 10.82 assists per set and first among all freshmen in the entire country. IU is one of three teams in the Big Ten hitting north of .300 (.311) on the year.
Since the Big Ten began handing out the honor in 2009, Kričković is the seventh IU player to be named Freshman of the Week by the conference office. She joins freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager as the second player from IU this season to earn the award.
It's the first time in program history that IU has had two different players win Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors in the same season. On the year, IU's players are leading all conference freshmen in kills per set (Jager – 3.37), assists per set (Kričković – 10.82) and blocks per set (Victoria Gray – 1.17).
