UH's Kamana'o earns WAC weekly honor; UH now 16th
Advertiser Staff
Hawaii setter Kanoe Kamana'o is the Western Athletic Conference Volleyball Player of the Week.
It is the third time the senior has earned the award — twice this year — and it comes as she is poised to break the WAC record for career assists.
The 'Iolani graduate averaged 16.25 assists, 3.75 digs and 0.88 blocks in the Rainbow Wahine's conference victories over Idaho and San Jose State last weekend.
Her 130 assists put her four short of the WAC record of 5,873, set by Colorado State's Analisa Saylor. Kamana'o, a three-time All-American, broke the UH career record as a junior.
Kamana'o also moved to fifth on the UH career digs list (1,125) over the weekend, and eighth in career blocks (374).
Hawai'I (17-5, 9-1 WAC) leaves tomorrow night for WAC matches at Nevada (14-9, 8-3) Thursday and Utah State (12-14, 5-7) Saturday. The Rainbow Wahine are tied for first with New Mexico State.
After sweeping its matches last week, Hawai'I dropped one spot in today's CSTV/AVCA Top 25 poll, to No. 16. Stanford moved up to second after Penn State lost for the first time. NMSU remained 23rd
