IRVINE, Calif.—University of Hawai'i women's volleyball outside hitter Caylen Alexander earned her third overall and second-straight Big West Freshman of the Week award. The true freshman produced a pair of double-digit kill matches in two road wins this past week.

Alexander, who hails from Alpharetta, Ga., totaled 23 kills, including six in the first frame--including putting down first set points in both matches at Cal State Fullerton on Friday and Long Beach State on Saturday. In the sweep in Fullerton, Alexander put down 10 kills while hitting .350 (10-3-20) with a dig. At the Walter Pyramid, she added 13 kills and three more digs in a 3-1 victory. 

Alexander has appeared in all 12 matches for the Rainbow Wahine, recording 10-plus kills in seven of them. The outside hitter has tallied 38 kills over the past three contests alone, hitting at a .365 (38-7-85) clip. She has helped to lead UH to a season-long five match win streak while remaining undefeated and tied atop the Big West standings with UC Santa Barbara at 4-0 in conference. Hawai'i went over the .500 mark for the first time this season after the win at Titan Gym.

Alexander now leads all conference rookies with three Big West Freshman of the Week honors over the first six weeks of the season.
