Senior Emily Hartong (Los Alamitos, Calif./Los Alamitos HS) sparked Hawai‘i to road wins over Long Beach State and UC Irvine, leading the team in kills, digs and hitting percentage to claim the Big West Women's Volleyball Player of the Week honor, the seventh of her career.

Hartong posted back-to-back double-doubles as the Rainbow Wahine swept the 49ers and won a four-setter against the Anteaters, extending UH's winning streak against Big West opponents to 22 straight.

For the week, she averaged 5.57 kills, 3.14 digs and 0.86 blocks per set, and hit .458 (39-6-72).
