SAN FRANCISCO -- UCLA juniors Megan McNamara and Nicole McNamara (Vancouver, BC, Canada) have been named the Pac-12 Conference's Pair of the Week as announced today by the league office.
The duo helped No. 2 UCLA run its winning streak to nine-consecutive duals, going 3-0 last week with three 5-0 sweeps at the LMU Invitational at Ocean Park Beach in Santa Monica, Calif., on Saturday, March 17.
The tandem won all three matches on court one without dropping a set, claiming two sets by holding their opponent to single digits.
The pair opened with a 21-5, 21-13 win over Missouri State's Taylor Fricano/Veronica Snelling, followed with a 21-12, 21-4 win over Colorado Mesa's Taylor Woods/Katie Scherr, and ended with a 21-15, 21-14 victory over No. 16 Loyola Marymount's Savannah Slattery/McKayla Ferris.
It is the fourth weekly honor for the duo and the sixth for UCLA in the three-year history of the award.
