Rettke earns record eighth Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors

November 13, 2017 By Bill Scott

Dana Rettke

Wisconsin’s 6’8 middle blocker Dana Rettke has captured Big Ten Player of the Week honors for a record eighth time this year.

The 6’8 middle blocker recorded a match-high 14 hills at Indiana last Friday and a team-high 11 kills at Purdue on Saturday.  Rettke averaged 4.17 kills per set while hitting .465 (25 kills – 5 errors – 43) on the weekend.

On the season, Rettke leads the Badgers with a .437 hitting percentage, which ranks second in the Big Ten.  She has a team-best 1.39 blocks per set, which ranks fourth in the conference.  She also had a team-best 3.38 kills and 0.27 service aces per set.

Until this season, the most awards received in a season was six, set by Minnesota’s Samantha Seliger-Swenson in 2015.

No. 13 Wisconsin (17-8, 8-8 BIG) wraps up the road portion of the Big Ten season with two matches this weekend.  The Badgers travel to Illinois (18-9, 9-7) on Friday for a 7 p.m. match in Champaign, Illinois.  Wisconsin takes on Northwestern (14-14, 4-12) for the second time this season on Sunday.  The two teams will play in Evanston, Illinois at 1 p.m.
