Iowa pitcher Sasha Kuebel was named the Big Ten Co-Picher of the Week on Monday.

The Hawkeye junior shared the award with Ohio State’s Greg Greve, the second of Kuebel’s career.

During Iowa’s 5-3 victory over Kansas, Kuebel threw 5.2 innings in relief, allowing 1 run and striking out six. Kuebel pitched his first career complete-game shutout during the second game of an April 12 double-header at Northwestern. He gave up 8 hits and struck out 6 with 1 walk in the 5-0 victory.

Kuebel joins Calvin Mathews as the second Hawkeye to earn the weekly pitching honor, the fourth Hawkeye to win a weekly award this season.

Iowa will host Western Illinois at 6:30 p.m. today.
