Mariia Kozyreva and Hind Abdelouahid were named the West Coast Conference Doubles' Team of the Week after going 2-0 against conference opponents.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. — Mariia Kozyreva and Hind Abdelouahid have been named the WCC's Women's Tennis Doubles Team of the Week after going 2-0 last week against No. 43 Loyola Marymount and No. 8 Pepperdine.

The Gaels' tandem kicked off their week with a comfortable 6-3 win over LMU's top duo of Eva Marie Voracek and Vero Miroshnichenko. The following day, Kozyreva and Abdelouahid upset the Waves' nationally-ranked pair of No. 16 Anastasia Iamachkine and Jessica Failla, 7-5.

Saint Mary's No. 1 doubles pairing is 5-1 this season and are a perfect 3-0 in conference play. It is the second time this season SMC has won a Player of the Week award after Clementine Clement won the singles honor during Week 1.

The Gaels return to the court this weekend against Pacific and Sac State. More information can be found on the team's schedule page.
