LA MIRADA --- Biola volleyball's Caprice Cooper earned PacWest Defender of the Week honors after helping the Eagles to a pair of conference wins.

Cooper averaged 4.86 digs per set across seven sets, totaling 34 digs as Biola defeated Dominican and Jessup at home. The freshman also added nine assists and two service aces during the week.

The Scottsdale, Arizona native opened the week with 21 digs in Biola's four-set win over Dominican. She followed with 13 digs as the Eagles swept Jessup to complete the 2-0 week.

"Caprice has shown some great maturity having to step into the libero role as a freshman," said head coach Brian Failinger. "Her rock solid defense has been an anchor for our back row and created a lot of great opportunities for our offense."

Cooper also went the entire week without a reception error, helping anchor a Biola defense that held its two opponents to a combined .133 hitting percentage.
