A stellar offensive performance that guided Pacific to a perfect 2-0 mark to open conference play earned Alexa Anderson her first career Big West Player of the Week honor, for the week ending Sept. 28.   

Friday evening, the senior outside hitter led the Tigers to their first win over No. 22 Long Beach State since Sept. 23, 2004, with a match-high 17 kills.  Anderson rallied the Tigers at almost every critical point, leading Pacific back from a 6-1 deficit in the first set and delivering 15 kills over the final two sets, including eight kills and zero errors on 12 attempts in Pacific's 25-17 set two victory.  

Earlier in the week, Anderson tallied 16 kills and fired a .250 hitting percentage in Pacific's 3-1 victory over UC Davis.  For the week, the Los Gatos, Calif., native led the Tigers with a 4.71 kills per set average and a .305 clip.

Others nominated: Lauren Kellerman (UC Irvine), Naomi Washington (Long Beach State), Jaclyn Houston (Cal Poly), Lauren McLaughlin (UC Santa Barbara) and Val Kepler (Cal State Northridge).
