LOS ANGELES --ย UCLA graduate Peri Brennan (Laguna Beach, Calif.) and senior Natalie Myszkowski (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) have been named the MPSF/Molten Pair of the Weekย as announced by the league office today.
The Bruin duoย helped UCLA go 5-1 (all against Top-12 teams) to win the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Beach Classic for the fourth consecutive year in Honolulu, Hawaii (Feb. 20-22). The No. 2 pair also went 5-1 in the tournament, including the clinching point of the Bruins' win over No. 2 TCU in straight sets, 21-17, 29-27.
