Hawaii’s Tread Rosenthal was named the Big West Freshman of the Week on Monday for the second time in his young career.
The 6-foot-8 setter from Manhattan Beach, Calif., averaged 9.82 assists per set during Hawaii’s 3-0 road trip to Indiana this past week.
Rosenthal had a career-high 10 digs in Hawaii’s four-set win over Purdue Fort Wayne on Thursday and then guided UH to a .487 hitting percentage in a sweep on Friday.
He finished the weekend with 38 assists, five digs and two of Hawaii’s nine aces in a four-set win over No. 15 Ball State on Sunday.
Hawaii leads the Big West and is third in the country in hitting percentage at .371.
The Rainbow Warriors jumped a spot to No. 3 in this week’s AVCA/NVA National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball Poll. Fellow Big West member Long Beach State took over the No. 1 spot and Grand Canyon jumped from No. 5 to No. 2.
Hawaii has at least one match scheduled against five of the other seven teams that make up the top eight in the poll.
