  • Caylen Alexander is The Big West Freshman of the Week for a league-high sixth time after a road sweep that gave Hawai’i a third successive outright conference crown.

  • In Friday night’s come-from-behind five-set triumph at runner-up UC Santa Barbara that officially punched UH’s ticket for an NCAA Championship return, Alexander put down 16 kills on .286 (16-6-35) hitting. The true freshman outside hitter reached double digits in kills for the 14th time, and added five digs and two aces.

  • The native of Alpharetta, Ga., and 2022 graduate of Centennial High School then contributed 12 kills at a .333 (12-3-27) attack rate, a season-best six total blocks (two solo) and three digs in a 3-1 win at CSUN on Saturday night. Alexander averaged 3.78 points and 3.11 kills per set.

  • Alexander has appeared in all 28 matches for the Rainbow Wahine, starting eight, and continues to lead the team with 33 service aces. Hawai’i closed out the regular season as a winner of 12 straight, the longest streak in The Big West in 2022, and 20 of its last 21.

  • UC Irvine libero Campbell Jensen picked up the next-most weekly rookie honors with three. Alexander’s earlier Big West Freshman of the Week awards were on Sept. 5, Sept. 26, Oct. 3, Oct. 10 and Oct. 31.
