DALLAS, Texas – UTEP's Bri Garcia earned Conference USA Player of the Week honors, presented by Blenders Eyewear. This accolade marks a significant milestone for the team, as it breaks a dry spell dating back to 2019 since UTEP last secured a player of the week conference honor.

Player of the Week – Bri Garcia, UTEP – Sophomore – Infielder – El Paso, Texas 
Garcia had an impressive week for the Miners (10-2), who achieved a commendable 6-1 record. She started all seven games at second base and went 8-17 at the plate, resulting in a slash line of .471/.550/.882. Garcia drove in 10 runs, crossed the plate seven times and delivered key hits, including a pair of doubles and home runs. Her defensive performance was equally outstanding with nine putouts and 13 assists for a flawless 1.000 fielding percentage. Garcia's exceptional week earned her a spot on the UTEP Invitational All-Tournament Team.
