SAN FRANCISCO — Washington State volleyball’s senior middle blocker, Magda Jehlárová , was named Pac-12 Scholar Athlete of the Year as announced by the league office Thursday. Jehlárová was named first team All-Pac-12 earlier this week and heads into the NCAA tournament ranked eighth in the nation and the Pac-12 leader with 1.50 blocks/set this season.
Jehlárová , who was also named CSC (formerly CoSIDA) Academic All-District earlier this season, boasts a 3.74 GPA as a senior management major. Jehlárová (584) passed Claire Martin (577) for second all-time at WSU in career total blocks and including this season, has three of the four highest single-season attack percentages in Cougar volleyball history.
