CHICAGO, Ill. -- Minnesota redshirt sophomore outside Taylor Landfair has been named Big Ten Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
Landfair registered 5.79 points, 4.86 kills, 1.57 blocks and 0.86 digs per set last week in pacing Minnesota to wins over Iowa and No. 12 Purdue.

The Plainfield, Ill., native also earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors on Oct. 10 after two big performances in weekend road sweeps over Michigan and Michigan State. She ranks first on the team and second in the Big Ten in both points (5.09) and kills (4.55) per set.
The No. 9 ranked Gophers (12-6, 7-3 Big Ten) take on Michigan State (10-11, 1-9 Big Ten) on Wednesday (7 p.m) and No. 5 Wisconsin (13-3, 9-1 Big Ten) on Saturday (5:30 p.m). Wednesday's match will be on B1G+ while Saturday's will be televised on Big Ten Network.
