Halcomb collects WCC honor

Gonzaga’s Steven Halcomb capped his junior season in impressive style.

The shortstop hit safely in all four of the Bulldogs’ final games, including an 11-for-16 (.688) effort in a three-game series at BYU, and garnered the West Coast Conference’s final Player of the Week honor.

Halcomb scored seven runs, drove in five and had three extra base hits as the Zags took two of three from the Cougars. It left him with a .297 season batting average with eight doubles, 32 runs scored and 30 RBIs.

It was the first WCC weekly honor for Halcomb in his career, and the fifth this season for a GU player.
