Park University Gilbert women's volleyball player Lainey Calvary and women's soccer player Journey Morimoto have been named the Buccaneer Co-Players of the Week for their efforts over the week of August 31-September 6. This is week three of the award this season.

The Buccaneer Player of the Week is voted on by the coaches, staff and faculty at Park Gilbert. The player with the most votes wins for the week. The award recognizes athletic excellence and good sportsmanship.

In a week with many impressive candidates, Calvary and Morimoto tied for the top spot.

Calvary not only won this award, but also won the GSAC Attacker of the Week Award after an outstanding week which saw her post 36 kills and had an impressive .316 hitting percentage as she makes the transition to middle blocker. In addition, she also contributed on the defensive end with 10 digs and 15 blocks. The volleyball team went 2-1 this week beating Life Pacific and Division III Lake Forest while dropping a 5-set thriller to La Sierra.

Morimoto also had a spectacular start to the season and it continued with a clean sheet on the road at Stanton. Morimoto had five saves for the match. On the season she is 4-1 with a 1.00 GAA and two shutouts. This is the best start to a season in the history of the program and Morimoto is a big reason why.

Also in contention for the award was men's soccer player Anton Aaltonen, women's soccer player Sarai Mizzell and women's volleyball players Adrianna DeMario and Keep Williams.
