LAS VEGAS - UNLV's Jaci Hull was named the Mountain West Conferece's Player of the Week for her efforts this past weekend in the Pacific Mini Tournament held in Stockton, Calif. This is the second time this season that Hull has been honored with the award.

Against Sacramento State, she was responsible for all three runs that UNLV scored in the 3-0 victory. At the plate, she was 4-for-4 with three doubles, one RBI and two runs scored. In the second game vs. Sacramento State, she went 2-for-3 at the plate with two solo home runs, two RBI and two runs scored. Hull stepped up to the plate with two out in the fifth and cut the Hornets lead in half at 2-1.
