SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — After setting forth the performance of a lifetime over three games against Nebraska, Hawaii, and UNLV, junior utility player Jack Costello has been named the WCC Co-Player of the Week for February 27, the West Coast Conference announced on Monday afternoon.

It marks the second consecutive week that a Torero has earned the honor after junior infielder Kevin Sim took home the award on February 20.

Costello put on a offensive tour de force this week for San Diego, crushing five home runs in three games from February 20 to February 26 while batting a blistering 7-for-14 (.500) with seven runs scored and a remarkable 16 RBIs against the Cornhuskers, Rainbow Warriors, and Hustlin' Rebels.

The Simi Valley, California native got his week started on Monday (February 20) by going 2-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBIs in the Toreros' series finale opposite the Cornhuskers. His first longball of the day was a go-ahead grand slam, then he completed a stunning six-run seventh-inning comeback with a towering, game-tying three-run shot to even the score at 16 in what was ultimately the game's final inning due to Nebraska's travel schedule.

Costello continued his torrid week with two more homers on Friday against Hawaii, going 3-for-5 with six RBIs and four runs scored in the Toreros' 14-2 blowout of the Rainbow Warriors.

He then finished strong with another massive performance, home run, putting USD up over UNLV with a fifth-inning two-run shot that gave his team a 5-4 lead as it battled with the Hustlin' Rebels before he delivered a clutch walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth that kept the Toreros undefeated.

Costello and the Toreros are back in action this evening when they conclude play in the Tony Gwynn Legacy against UC Irvine. First pitch at Fowler Park is set for 6:00 p.m.
