PROVIDENCE, R.I. (SMU/AAC) – Morgan Heise was named American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week Monday after leading the Mustangs to a pair of wins on the first weekend of conference matches, including a victory over preseason-favorite Cincinnati.

SMU also snapped East Carolina's 10-match win streak, handing the Pirates their first loss of the season. Heise, a back-to-back conference Libero of the Year award winner, had 23 digs against ECU and 21 digs against Cincinnati. With her first dig against the Bearcats, the senior became just the second player in program history with 2,000 career digs. She needs 199 digs to break Sidney Stewart's school record of 2,218 digs set in 2011.

The Mustangs were one of three teams to start league play 2-0, and have a 9-5 record overall. Heise leads the league, averaging 5.34 digs per set overall. She led all players with 44 digs in the first two conference matches.

SMU has garnered two of the last three Defensive Player of the Week awards, with Janelle Giordano earning the accolade Sept. 12. Heise was also named to the weekly honor roll Sept. 5, and was named Defensive Player of the Week six times as a junior. The Mustangs play at Tulane Friday at 7 p.m. and at Houston Sunday at 1 p.m.
