  • Jano Tello led No. 14 CSUN to a 2-0 week to warrant a first career Big West Offensive Player of the Week recognition.
  • Tello’s match- and career-high 10 kills on 10 swings in a home sweep over Westcliff on Wednesday night set a single-match CSUN record for hitting percentage at a perfect 1.000, edging four Matadors who held the previous mark at .929. Tello added an ace and a match-best three block assists for a career-high 12.5 total points that also led all players.
  • Back in the hometown of San Diego in the Matadors’ 2023 Big West opener on Friday night at UC San Diego, Tello put down five kills with one error on eight attempts (.500) to go with two block assists and one set assist for 6.0 points in the come-from-behind, four-set triumph.
  • This is a first Big West weekly honor of any kind for Tello. Matador Griffin Walters was The Big West Offensive Player of the Week on Feb. 6, with another current teammate, Kyle Hobus, getting the award on Feb. 28, 2022. CSUN is 11-5 and a winner of a season-high seven straight. It is the program’s longest streak of success since 2016.
