Iowa catcher Liz Watkins on Monday was named Big Ten Player of the Week for the second time this season.

Watkins hit .650 with an .800 on-base percentage and a 1.500 slugging percentage on the week as the Hawkeyes went 3-1.

In the team’s weekend sweep of Northwestern, Watkins reached base in her first eight at-bats before striking out in her final plate appearance of the series. Watkins was 2-for-2 with three RBIs and three hit by pitches in the first game, an extra-inning 10-8 win for Iowa. The next day, she hit two home runs, a solo shot in the second inning and a two-run shot in the fourth. The second homer broke a 7-7 tie and capped off an eight-run fourth inning that came after the Hawkeyes trailed 7-1.

Watkins previously received the honor on March 28.
