After guiding LMU to a 2-0 week in West Coast Conference play, senior
Sara Kovac has been named West Coast Conference Player of the Week. The selection is the first of Kovac's career, and is the second of the year for LMU after
Tess Reid earned the honor on September 10.
Kovac totaled 46 kills to average 5.11 kills per set, including turning in 20+ kills each match against San Francisco and Santa Clara. The native of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada hit .409 for the week, and added a service ace, 13 digs and one block.
Kovac posted a match-high 21 kills on 44 swings to hit .364 against San Francisco on Thursday, before leading all players with a career-best 25 kills on 44 attacks while hitting .455 on Saturday in a five-set comeback win over Santa Clara.
LMU will wrap up the road portion of the regular-season schedule this week, traveling to Pacific and Saint Mary's. The matches can be watched on TheW.tv with live stats found at LMULions.com.
