All-Big West Honorees graphic

The No. 2 University 鶹ý at Mānoa team dominated the postseason honors once again, placing five players on the Big West All-Conference First Team as selected by the league’s six head coaches.

The honorees are setter Tread Rosenthal, outside hitters Adrien Roure and Louis Sakanoko, opposite Kristian Titriyski and libero Quintin Greenidge. The five selections were the most of any program in the conference.

Rosenthal earned his third career first-team selection and has been one of the most productive setters in the nation. He leads the Big West and ranks second nationally with 10.66 assists per set while directing the country’s No. 4-ranked offense (.377 hitting percentage). He is also a semifinalist for the AVCA (American Volleyball Coaches Association) National Player of the Year award and has been named Big West Setter of the Week a record 11 times this season.

Roure posted 2.91 kills per set on a .325 hitting percentage, while adding 1.39 digs per set and a team-high 34 aces. He reached double-digit kills 14 times and earned All-Tournament honors at the OUTRIGGER Invitational for the second straight year.

Titriyski made a major impact after returning midseason, averaging 3.90 kills per set in conference play and hitting double figures in every Big West match. He leads the team with a 3.98 kills-per-set average and a .328 hitting percentage.

Sakanoko averaged a career high of 3.18 kills, 1.37 digs and 0.61 blocks per set while hitting .358. He recorded double-digit kills in 15 matches and ranked among team leaders in nearly every offensive category.

Greenidge anchored the back row in his first season as libero, leading the Big West with 2.11 digs per set, posting double-digit digs in eight matches, including a career-best 15 against Pepperdine.

Individual Big West awards for Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Coach of the Year will be announced next week, with UH players expected to be strong contenders across multiple categories.
