PORTLAND, Ore. – Hannah Hair's season-long block party is still going strong.
 
The Seattle Pacific sophomore had 14 blocks combined in victories against No. 24-ranked Alaska Anchorage last Thursday and against Alaska Fairbanks on Saturday, thereby earning the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week award.

She now has been honored by the conference on both sides of the ball this season. On Sept. 20, Hair was named the Offensive Player of the Week after hitting .500 or better in victories against Northwest Nazarene and Central Washington.
 
Hair went for four block and eight kills on .333 hitting as the Falcons knocked off UAA, 25-22, 25-21, 25-22. That ended the Seawolves' streak of 14 straight victories against GNAC opponents and 29 straight matches without being swept by a GNAC opponent.
 
She came up even bigger in Saturday's five-set triumph against Fairbanks, 21-25, 25-21, 19-25, 25-23, 15-11. Hair logged a double-double of 10 blocks and 11 kills, hitting .304. It was her second double-digit block performance of the year (she had 11 in a four-set triumph vs. Central Washington on Sept. 18), and also was the her second career kill-block double-double.
 
With the Falcons on the brink of defeat, trailing the Nanooks 2 sets to 1 and down 23-21 in Set 4, Hair had a kill and two combined blocks as SPU ran off four straight points to take the set and force a deciding fifth.

Hair has 81 total blocks for the season, averaging 1.37 per set. That ranks No. 2 in the GNAC and No. 4 in all of NCAA Division II coming into this week.
 
This is the sfourth time in her career that Hair has won a weekly GNAC award. In addition to the two this fall, she also was named Defensive Player of the Week twice during last spring's abbreviated schedule.
 
Seattle Pacific is on the road this week, visiting Western Oregon on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. and Saint Martin's on Saturday at 5:15 p.m.
