  • In Friday’s match against Cal State Bakersfield, Igiede put down a match-high 12 kills with just one error in 25 attacks to hit .440. In the first set, Igiede pounded seven kills as UH raced to the 25-8 decision in the frame. The middle blocker also posted five total blocks, two solo, with five digs and an assist. 

  • Igiede pounded a match-high 13 kills against CSUN, committing zero errors on 18 swings for a season-high .722 hitting percentage. The Baton Rouge, La., native added three digs, a block and an assist in UH's shortest match of the season which clocked in at 79 minutes.  

  • Igiede moved up in the UH record books to No. 17 in career kills with 1,120. Tallying 460 career blocks, Igiede is 10th in NCAA Division I in total blocks and blocks per set (1.26).
