IRVINE, Calif. – The University of Hawai'i men's volleyball team swept the Big West Weekly Awards after its two-match sweep of NJIT over the weekend in Honolulu.
 
Opposite Kristian Titriyski was named Offensive Player of the Week, setter Tread Rosenthal earned both Defensive Player of the Week and Setter of the Week, and setter Magnus Hettervik was Freshman of the Week.
 
For Titriyski the award marked his third career offensive recognition and seventh time he was honored by the conference with a weekly award. Rosenthal has now compiled 13 career weekly awards including his sixth setter award and first defensive honor.
 
Titriyski, a sophomore from Sofia, Bulgaria, averaged 3.83 kills per set and 5.17 points per set and hit .439 in the series. He was the only player on either team to record double digit kills in the two matches and also had a team-best five service aces.
 
Rosenthal, a junior from Austin, Texas, led the team with 11 blocks in the series for an average of 1.83 blocks per set and directed an offense to a combined .517 hitting percentage in the series with only 11 attack errors in 118 attempts. In Friday's season-opener, he tied his career-high with eight blocks in a straight-set win.
 
Hettervik, a freshman from Stavanger, Norway, made his UH debut in the team's win on Sunday and recorded three assists and his first career ace in the second set.
 
The Warriors will host No. 7 Loyola Chicago this week in a two-match series, Thursday, Jan. 8 and Friday, Jan. 9 at Bankoh Arena at Stan Sheriff Center.
