WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Arizona State University redshirt sophomore outfielder Trever Allen has been named Pac-12 Player of the Week, the Conference announced Tuesday.

Allen led the Sun Devils to a pair of victories on the road at Tennessee with five RBI, four hits, four runs scored and two home runs. With a .833 slugging percentage, he accounted for seven of ASU's 11 runs over the weekend, and made number of spectacular catches in right field to prevent several runs from scoring and played a pivotal role in preserving the Devils' shutout in game one. He hit a three-run home run in game one to power ASU to a series-opening victory, and with ASU down one in game three, he battled through a 10-pitch at-bat to hit a two-run home run and put ASU ahead for good. He twice scored from third on wild pitches in the second and third games and registered his second multi-hit game and third multi-RBI game of the season.

This is Allen's first career Pac-12 Player of the Week honor and ASU's Conference-leading 102nd all-time selection.

The Sun Devils head to Surprise, Ariz., for the 11th annual Coca-Cola Classic at Surprise Stadium. The Sun Devils will play preseason No. 1 Arkansas twice on Feb. 28 and March 2, respectively, and will also face Pacific on March 1 and Gonzaga on March 3. All four games for the Sun Devils will follow a Major League Spring Training game and will begin at approximately 4 p.m. (MT) or 50 minutes after the conclusion of the preceding Spring Training game.
