USC junior outside hitter Juan Figueroa has been named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Co-Player of the Week for his performance in USC's 3-game sweep at Long Beach State.

Figueroa had a match-high 18 kills (hitting .467) with 7 blocks in the March 22 victory that moved the Trojans over the 49ers and into eighth place in the MPSF. The league's top 8 teams qualify for the MPSF post-season tourney.

Figueroa leads USC in kills (373), kill average (4.78), aces (21), ace average (.27), digs (147) and dig average (1.88) in 2007.

It's the third time in his career that he has won the MPSF Player of the Week honor, as he was recognized twice in 2006.

He shared the honor this week with BYU junior middle blocker Trent Sorensen.
