SAN DIEGO (Feb. 24, 2026) – San Diego Mojo setter Marlie Monserez has been named Major League Volleyball Player of the Week presented by Franklin Sports, the league office announced Tuesday.
The Windermere, Florida, native is the first Mojo player to receive the honor this season and the fifth in franchise history. She is the first San Diego player recognized since libero Shara Venegas earned the award in the final week of the 2025 season.
Monserez led San Diego to a five-set victory over Omaha, recording her ninth double-double of the season with 55 assists and 17 digs. The 55-assist performance is tied for the sixth-most in franchise history and marked her fourth 55-assist match of the season.
Despite the Mojo passing at a 2.4 rating, she directed an offense that hit .292 in First Ball situations and .219 in Transition. She also attacked at a .625 efficiency, contributing five kills while maintaining balance across San Diego’s offensive options.
San Diego totaled 100 digs in the match, the second-most in franchise history, as Monserez controlled tempo in key stretches, including the decisive fifth set to secure the team’s third consecutive home victory.
San Diego returns to action on Thursday, Feb. 26 against the Grand Rapids Rise, with first serve set for 4 p.m. PT. San Diego returns home Sunday, March 1, to host the Columbus Fury at 4 p.m. PT at Viejas Arena. Tickets are available at LetsGoMojo.com.
