IRVING, Texas -- Oklahoma State's Lukas Finzelberg received Big 12 Player of the Week honors on Wednesday. This marks the first time Finzelberg has received the weekly honor in his time as a Cowboy and it also is the second-straight week an Oklahoma State player has earned the honor, as Julian Cash won last week.

Finzelberg went 3-0 on the week, leading the Cowboys to victories over No. 11 Wake Forest and No. 22 Minnesota. In the match against Wake Forest the sophomore clinched the upset victory for OSU with a triumph over Christian Seraphim (6-4, 5-7, 6-4). It marked the first time since 2014 that the Pokes topped a top-15 opponent.

The Weinstadt-Beutelsbach, Germany native also closed out the match against the Gophers, topping Mariano Alpeza in straight sets (7-5, 7-5). Additionally, the sophomore tallied a doubles victory in the match against Minnesota.
