It's the first career honor for Glagau and the second career weekly nod for Van Sickle.

The duo dropped just one set all week and won three of four matches by straight sets. In their three sweeps, they were dominant, winning each set by an average of seven points. They also captured the clinching point in UH's win over Arizona with a three-set win over Alex Parkhurst and Alana Rennie in the final match of the weekend.
