2/8/2024 12:30:00 PM | Water Polo
LOS ANGELES - Fresno State senior goalkeeper Paula Nieto Jasny has been named the Golden Coast Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced on Thursday.
Â
Nieto Jasny recorded 31 saves in four games last weekend, helping the Bulldogs defeat another No. 1 team and finish second at the UCSD Triton Invitational. She allowed just 31 goals in the four games and had over a .500 save percentage in three of the four games over the weekend.
Â
Notably, Nieto Jasny was a turning point in the Bulldogs' win over No. 1 USC as she recorded eight saves while holding the Trojans to just seven goals for their lowest scored in a game since the 2023 MPSF Championship game against Stanford. Nieto Jasny played all 32 minutes in each of the four games on the schedule last weekend.
Â
Fresno State went 2-2 last week, earning wins over No. 6 UC Irvine and No. 1 USC behind the efforts from the senior keeper from Spain. The Bulldogs defeated the nation's top-ranked team for the second time this season, moving them up to No. 3 in this week's CWPA team rankings. The Bulldogs became the highest-ranked Fresno State program since softball was ranked No. 2 in 1999. The Bulldogs also earned the highest ranking by a program in GCC women's water polo history.
Â
In three weeks of competition, Nieto Jasny is the second Bulldog to earn the GCC Player of the Week nod as Abbey Simshauser was the Week 1 standout player. For Nieto Jasny, this is her fourth career GCC Player of the Week accolade.Â
Â
The Bulldogs are off this week, but return to the pool with the Bulldog Mini at the Aquatics Center on Feb. 16-17.
