  • Redshirt sophomore opposite hitter Dimitrios Mouchlias guided fourth-ranked reigning national champion Hawai’i to a road sweep at No. 14 UC Irvine, averaging 6.56 points, 5.50 kills, 1.13 blocks, 1.00 digs and 0.38 aces per set while attacking at a .486 (44-8-74) clip.
  • Mouchlias’ match- and career-high 31 kills in Saturday night’s five-set triumph, during which the Rainbow Warriors overturned a pair of one-set deficits, marked the only 30-kill performance in The Big West this season. The 31 kills came on .510 (31-6-49) hitting, and he added five blocks to match his career best, four digs and two aces for a match- and career-best 35.5 total points. The 49 attacks were also a career high.
  • In Friday’s sweep, Mouchlias had a team-high 13 kills on .440 (13-2-25) hitting, to go alongside four total blocks (match-best two solo) to share the match high, four digs and another ace for a team-best 17 points.
  • Mouchlias enters the postseason on a season-best run of four straight contests with double-figure kills. He has 13 such efforts in 2022, with a prior high of 21 on Jan. 31 before Saturday’s outburst. The 31 kills are tied with five others for the fourth-best single-match output nationally.
  • This is Mouchlias’ second Big West Offensive Player of the Week selection, with the previous one coming back on Feb. 7.
