IRVING, Texas – Following a standard-setting week, Oklahoma State's Stailee Heard was named the Big 12 Player of the Week it was announced today by the league office.

Her performance is tied for the second-best in Big 12 history, behind only Iowa State's Stacy Frese (8-8) in 1999.
The Sapulpa, Okla., native also grabbed 10 rebounds for her third double-double of the season. Heard tallied an assist to go with three steals and a career-best two blocks.
