For the second-consecutive week, Minnesota sophomore Maggie Keefer was named the Big Ten Diver of the Week Tuesday after helping the Golden Gophers to a, 199-100, victory at Iowa State last weekend.

The sophomore garnered her third-career league diver of the week award, and her second of the season, by posting NCAA Zone Diving qualifying marks in both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events in the dual meet vs. the Cyclones.

Her score of 305.92 in 1-meter earned Keefer her second first-place finish and second NCAA Zone Diving qualifying mark in the event this season, and also ranks fourth all-time at Minnesota. The sophomore also finished second in 3-meter with a score of 294.90 to post her third NCAA Zone Diving qualifying mark of the year.
