After helping Loyola Marymount University women's volleyball earn a pair of West Coast Conference victories, Maria Tabacuks has been named the WCC Offensive Player of the Week for the third time this season.

Tabacuks led the Lions throughout their two-match homestand, totaling 32 kills across seven sets while averaging 4.57 kills per set and hitting .368. She finished the weekend with 36.0 points, 13 digs, four blocks and two service aces as LMU defeated Santa Clara and San Francisco to improve to 17-3 overall and 8-1 in conference play.

The sophomore opened the week with a team-high 23 kills while hitting .375 in LMU's 3-1 victory over Santa Clara. Tabacuks added eight digs and totaled 24.5 points as the Lions bounced back with a four-set win.
She followed with another efficient performance against San Francisco, recording nine kills on .350 hitting while adding five digs, three blocks and a service ace in LMU's 3-0 sweep. Tabacuks helped the Lions hit .353 as a team while holding the Dons to a .135 hitting percentage.
Tabacuks also delivered throughout key stretches of both victories. Against Santa Clara, she helped LMU pull away in the fourth set with five kills during a stretch that extended the Lions' lead from 10-7 to 17-11 before adding back-to-back kills late in the set. Against San Francisco, Tabacuks helped LMU erase an early deficit in the opening set with a kill and service ace before contributing during a seven-point run in the second set and closing the match with the final kill of the third set.

Across the two victories, Tabacuks averaged 5.14 points per set while committing just seven attack errors on 68 attempts. The Lions went 2-0 on the week and improved to 8-1 in WCC play.
