DAVIS, CA (MPG) - For the second time in the season and her career, UC Davis senior attacker Gianna Nocetti has been named the Big West Player of the Week following a standout performance that led the No. 16 Aggies to a perfect 3-0 weekend in Southern California.

Nocetti fueled a road trip highlighted by a 12-11 victory over No. 15 UC San Diego—the program’s first regulation win over the Tritons since 2022. The senior recorded a hat trick in all three contests against UCSD, Brown and Cal State Fullerton, totaling nine goals, two assists and six steals on the weekend.

A specialist at the start of periods, Nocetti went a perfect 12-for-12 on sprints over the three-game stretch. She currently leads the team in steals (35) and leads the Big West in both sprint wins (62) and sprint win percentage, while ranking No. 6 nationally in total sprint wins.

The finale against Cal State Fullerton served as a career milestone for Nocetti, who recorded her 100th career assist. She now totals 40 goals and 40 assists on the year, making her the only player on the roster to reach the 40-mark in both categories so far this season.

Through six conference games, Nocetti ranks among the Big West leaders in multiple categories, including No. 1 in sprint wins and No. 2 in both steals and field blocks. She also sits at No. 5 in the conference in total points during Big West play and No. 6 in assists per game.
