Cal State East Bay sophomore Gianna Navarro earned FloCollege/CCAA Offensive Player of the Week after leading the Pioneers to two wins and helping them clinch a CCAA Tournament berth. The outside hitter delivered 30 kills with a .467 hitting percentage across the victories.

By the Numbers
  • 30 kills in two matches; 3.75 kills per set.
  • .467 hitting percentage, with just two total errors.
  • 17 digs, four assists, one ace and two blocks; 32 points.
  • East Bay improved to 7-4 in CCAA play and sits fifth in the standings.
Yes, But

Navarro’s award recognizes a standout week, but the Pioneers still have two regular-season matches to play before the conference tournament.

State of Play
  • East Bay has clinched a CCAA Tournament berth.
  • The Pioneers rank third in the conference in blocks per set (2.05) and fourth in opponent hitting percentage (.190).
  • This is Navarro’s first career Offensive Player of the Week honor and East Bay’s first this season.
What’s Next

The Pioneers travel to Cal Poly Humboldt on Thursday, Nov. 5, then visit Cal State Dominguez Hills on Saturday, Nov. 7. Both matches will stream on FloCollege.

Bottom Line

Navarro’s efficient scoring helped secure East Bay’s postseason place; the final road matches offer a chance to build momentum before the CCAA Tournament.
