Sedore AVCA Player of the Week
Sorry, still having power outages in Kailua
Sedore, who was the MPSF player of the week Monday, picks up the AVCA national honor today.
From UH
Senior Brook Sedore was named Sports Imports/AVCA Player of the Week (Feb. 10-16) after his performance last week, where he recorded 20+ kills two nights in a row over USC. He was also awarded conference player of the week honors Monday . It is already UH’s second AVCA weekly award this season and 21st all-time, with Taylor Averill most recently earning the title on Jan. 19.
This week the Rainbow Warriors are ranked second in the conference in kills with 496 (13.05 K/S) and in assists with 463 (12.18 A/S). Junior libero Kolby Kanetake is also ranked second in the MPSF in digs, averaging 2.66 per set. Sedore is currently third in the conference in points, with a total of 164.0 (4.32 P/S).
No. 6 Hawaii (7-3, 4-2 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) hits the road for the second time this season to face Cal Baptist (3-9, 1-8 MPSF), Feb. 11 and Feb. 13 for a pair of conference matches.
UH leads the series 5-3 and swept Cal Baptist last season at the Stan Sheriff Center. After splitting 1-1 last week at home against USC, the Rainbow Warriors look to advance their MPSF record with another sweep over the Lancers. CBU extended a five-game losing streak last week after dropping both matches at BYU (Feb. 6-7).
Next week the Rainbow Warriors return home to host Cal State Northridge on Feb. 20 and Feb. 22.
Very deserving of this honor, Brook. Super congrats.
I wonder what Brook does to celebrate sweeping the awards?!
Speaking of which, I noticed for the first time last week that Brook sometimes celebrates a team member’s kill or block with as much gusto as if he had scored the point. What a classy team player.
Well played, Brook!
If an award for the most improved player were available, I’d give it to Jennings.
Not only did he bust out a surprise jump serve, he accomplished a 3:7 ace:error record against a good serve-receive team. He was also very offensive, and effective at that. I’ve always felt that an MVP-quality setter should serve and score points on the second touch as well as he/she sets (a la Micah Hancock).
Jennings, a sophmore in a season still young, has my attention. Bravo, Jennings!
