DAVIS, Calif. – After helping the No. 22 Pacific women's water polo program record a perfect 4-0 weekend, senior
Hila Futorian was named the Golden Coast Conference Player of the Week winner on Thursday.
Â
Futorian led Pacific's (4-0) offense with 17 goals over four games. It included at least four goals in every contest against Villanova, La Salle, Marist and No. 21 Brown.
Â
The Tigers have matched their best start in school history. They will head to UC Davis for three matches this weekend beginning with a 9:30 a.m. Saturday contest against the ninth-ranked Aggies at the Schaal Aquatics Center.
Â
Pacific will face No. 4 Cal (5-0) at 2 p.m. Saturday and UC Merced at 10 a.m. Sunday. Pacific is 4-0 for the first time since 2018 when the squad finished 18-8 overall and 7-0 in conference. The Tigers are looking to begin 5-0 for the first time in program history.

Alicia Petkov netted 10 goals.
