Quintin Greenidge were named to the 14-member first team—the most selections of any school.
The five first-team honorees mark the most for UH since six were named to the first team in 2023, which remains a Big West record. UH also had five honorees in 2019. No school other than UH has had five or more first-team selections in a single season since the conference's inception in 2018.
This year marks the third time Rosenthal has been named to the first team. Roure and Titriyski were also first-team selections last season, while Sakanoko and Greenidge received their first career awards. Individual awards for Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, and Coach of the Year will be announced next week.
Rosenthal, a junior from Austin, Texas, leads the Big West and ranks second nationally in assists per set (10.66) while directing the nation's No. 4-ranked offense (.377). Rosenthal is one of eight semifinalists for the AVCA National Player of the Year award and has been named Big West Setter of the Week a record 11 times this season.
Roure, a sophomore from Lyon, France, is averaging 2.91 kills per set while hitting at a .325 clip. He also averages 1.39 digs per set and has a team-best 34 service aces. Roure has reached double figures in kills 14 times, including twice during the OUTRIGGER Invitational, where he earned All-Tournament Team honors for the second consecutive year.
Titriyski, a sophomore from Sofia, Bulgaria, missed most of the first half of the season before returning to the starting lineup at the start of Big West play. He averaged 3.90 kills per set in league play and reached double figures in kills in every conference match. Despite playing in only half of the matches this season, Titriyski leads the team with a 3.98 kills per set average while hitting .328.
Sakanoko, a junior from Paris, France, is averaging career-bests of 3.18 kills, 1.37 digs, and 0.61 blocks per set, alongside a .358 hitting percentage. He has reached double figures in kills in 15 matches and ranks second on the team in kills per set, tied for third in aces (28), and fourth in digs per set.
Greenidge, a junior from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, has started 28 matches at libero and leads the Big West with an average of 2.11 digs per set. He has recorded double-figure digs in eight matches, including a career-high 15 against Pepperdine.
