IRVINE, Calif.—University of Hawai'i men's tennis player, 20th-ranked Andre Ilagan recorded his sixth-straight singles win en route to earning his second-consecutive Big West Player of the Week award. Ilagan dominated UH's only match this past week at UC San Diego. It is his sixth career conference weekly honor and second of the season.
 
Fourth-year junior Ilagan helped lead the Rainbow Warriors to a 4-2 win in their Big West opener on the road at UCSD. Ilagan was ultra-efficient both at No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles. In singles, Ilagan set the tone for the match, finishing first while cruising past UCSD's Daniel Traxler, 6-1, 6-1. Ilagan has won 10 successive sets in singles play over the past five contests.
 
As a team, Hawai'i lost the doubles point to the Tritons, but UH's No. 1 duo of Ilagan and Karl Collins notched the 'Bows only win with a blanking of UCSD's Jett Cole and Traxler, 6-0. Ilagan has won his last four finished matches playing at No. 1 (three times with Collins and once with Axel Labrunie). 

Ilagan and the Rainbow Warriors entered the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's (ITA) team rankings at No. 75. The 'Bows are currently on an eight-match win streak with an 8-1 overall record and 1-0 mark in the Big West. This week the 'Bows are hosting their final home stand of the year at the UH Tennis Complex. UH will take on Cal Poly on Thursday, March 24; UC Davis on Friday, March 25; and UC Santa Barbara on Sunday, March 27. All three matches are slated to start at 12:00 p.m.
