SAN FRANCISCO – Cal junior Mima Mirkovic has been named the Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday. Mirkovic led the No. 15 Bears to two five-set victories over No. 18 Utah and Colorado last weekend, tallying two consecutive double-doubles, including 19 kills and a season-high 20 digs in Sunday's win over the Buffaloes.

An Irvine, California native, Mirkovic opened the weekend with 18 kills and 11 digs in the victory over Utah to total 37 kills and 31 digs in the two matches while hitting .329 on 85 total swings.

Mirkovic, an outside hitter, leads the Bears with 221 kills this season and is hitting .269 on 583 total attempts, contributing to the offense that currently tops the conference in hitting percentage and is fourth in the country at a .309 clip. Mirkovic is second on the team with 193 digs and currently ranks sixth in the conference in both kills per set (3.40) and points per set (3.85), while helping Cal to a 17-1 start to the season, including a 7-1 mark in conference play. The Bears are one of just three remaining Power Five conference teams in the country with one or fewer losses, along with No. 1 Baylor and No. 3 Pittsburgh. 

This is the second Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honor for California this season, after senior middle blocker Savannah Rennie earned the recognition for her performance in week one at the Colorado State Rams Volleyball Classic.

The Bears return to action this weekend with a Southern California road trip, beginning with an 8 p.m. first serve from the Galen Center on Friday, Oct. 25 vs. USC. The match will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.
