SAN MATEO, Calif. — University of San Francisco senior first baseman Jacob Munoz was named the West Coast Conference Baseball Player of the Week Monday for the week of March 29-April 4.
Munoz batted .667, slugged 1.333 and had an on-base percentage of .769 in three games against Loyola Marymount, leading the Dons to their first series sweep of LMU in 10 years. Munoz homered in back-to-back games on Thursday and Friday. He battled through a 10-pitch at-bat on Thursday before homering to make it 3-2 and help power the Dons' comeback. Friday, he wasted no time on getting his second homer, crushing the first pitch he saw in the fourth to make it 6-1 Dons.
He had two multi-hit games in the series, going 2 for 4 Thursday and 3 for 3 Friday. He scored runs in all three games, and drew four walks on the week.
Munoz is the Dons' second weekly award winner this season after Alex Pham won the first WCC Pitcher of the Week award on Feb. 23. Gonzaga right-handed pitcher Alex Jacob was named this week's WCC Pitcher of the Week alongside Munoz.
San Francisco hosts San Jose State for a single non-conference game on Tuesday, then travels to Santa Clara for a three-game WCC series starting Friday. Fans can find all live coverage links on USFDons.com.
