Logan Named BIG EAST Player of the Week
Outside hitter Anna Logan helped Butler go 2-1 in conference play last week by contributing a double-double performance in each match. At Marquette, Logan exploded for 20 kills and 24 digs in a five-set loss to the Golden Eagles. She followed that effort with 17 kills and 14 digs in a four-set win vs. Villanova. The final match of the week featured Logan posting 14 kills and 10 digs against the Hoyas. For the week, Logan averaged 4.25 kills per set, hitting at a .240 clip. She came up with 51 total kills and 48 total digs. Her stat line also included two service aces and nine blocks, helping her reach 58 total points. Logan now has 12 double-doubles on the year and has collected 20+ kills on nine occasions. She was second in the league in kills and points for the week.
 
Killin' It
Sophomore Anna Logan leads the team with 435 kills. She is now 41 kills shy of placing her name in the single-season top ten list of the Butler record book. If Logan averages 15 kills per match over Butler's final nine regular season games she will move to second all-time. The top spot isn't necessarily out of reach, but Logan would have to average 18 kills per match to reach 600.
