Junior Emily Hartong (Los Alamitos, Calif./Los Alamitos HS) posted her seventh and eighth double-doubles of the season to lead Hawai‘i to a road sweep and capture her fourth Big West Women's Volleyball Player of the Week award in 2012.

The 6-2 outside hitter averaged 4.62 kills, 3.88 digs and 0.38 service aces as the Rainbow Wahine downed Pacific in five sets and swept UC Davis.  Hartong also hit .301 (37-12-83) in the two wins to help UH improve to 24-2 overall and remain unbeaten in conference play at 16-0.

Hartong collected 25 kills and 16 digs in the five-set triumph over the Tigers as the Rainbow Wahine rallied from a 2-1 deficit.  She swung at a .346 (25-7-52) clip and tallied three service aces to help her team's cause.

In the win over the Aggies, Hartong had 12 kills and 15 digs.

Hawai‘i is now just two wins away from completing the Big West schedule undefeated and becoming the first team to do so since UC Santa Barbara went 18-0 in 2002.  Hartong has been instrumental all season long in that success, leading the Big West in kills (4.53 kpg) and points (5.19 ppg), while ranking sixth in both hitting percentage (.281) and service aces (0.28 sapg).

Others nominated: Bre Moreland (Cal State Fullerton); Casey Hinger (Cal State Northridge); Alex Reid (Long Beach State); Kristin Winkler (UC Irvine); Ashley Cox (UC Riverside); Leah Sully (UC Santa Barbara)
