Epstein-Urbina Duo Earns WCC Pair Of The Week

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Alexie Epstein and Alexandra Urbina earn West Coast Conference Pair of the Week honors after Santa Clara's undefeated performance, which included a victory over USF at home. The junior-freshman duo has proven to be a formidable pair, primarily at the fifth slot but also securing wins at the fours.

Team "A-Train" stepped up last week for the Broncos as they started off by defeating USF's Francesca Stanschus and Alina Inzunza 21-18, 21-11 at home. Following their stellar performance, they came up clutch as the Broncos were down 0-2 in the dual against ULM and managed to come back after losing the first set, ultimately winning it in three sets at 15-9. They were also part of the Broncos' 4-1 victory over Sacramento State with scores of 21-14, 21-15.

This pair is 11-6 so far this season, including two wins over nationally ranked opponents: No. 19 Arizona (21-19, 21-19) and No. 13 FIU (21-18, 23-21).

The Broncos will stay local this weekend as they face San Jose State for the first time this season and take on the Dons for the second time.
