HOUSTON - University of Houston sophomore diver Anastasia Pozdniakova was honored Tuesday as the Conference USA Diver of the Week.
It was the first time this season that Pozdniakova collected the league's weekly award but the second honor for a Cougar diver in 2006-07.
Pozdniakova, a native of Elektrostal, Russia, helped lead the Cougars during a pair of close losses to No. 8 SMU and No. 25 Oregon State last weekend. She swept both diving events and was the only performer to crack 300 points in either event.
The reigning C-USA Freshman Diver of the Year won the 3-meter competition with 316.58 points and claimed top honors on the 1-meter springboard with 328.73 points.
SMU's Petra Klosova was named the C-USA Swimmer of the Week.
The Cougars return to action this weekend as they play host to the Phill Hansel Duals Weekend at the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center Natatorium. The Cougars will welcome Rice, Nevada, New Orleans, Trinity and Mesa State to the two-day event.
The meet begins at 5 p.m., Friday at the CRWC Natatorium and wraps up at 10 a.m., Saturday.
All Cougar Swimming and Diving regular-season meets are free and open to the public, which is invited to attend.
