They then added a 6-3 triumph over Sacramento State, giving the Beach early momentum in both matches.
Costa's consistency across both lineups provided critical points in tightly contested duals and underscored her role as a steady presence at the top of the order. The recognition marks the team's second Player of the Week award this season and reflects her all-around contribution in conference play.
