The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa men’s volleyball team placed five players on the AVCA All-America team, including two on the first team—setter Tread Rosenthal and outside hitter Adrien Roure. In addition, opposite Kristian Titriyski was selected to the second team, while libero ʻEleu Choy and middle blocker Kurt Nusterer were honorable mention selections.
The five honorees are tied for the second-most in a single season behind a program-record six in 2023. It marks the eighth time in the last nine years that the Rainbow Warriors had at least four student-athletes honored.
Rosenthal, a sophomore, ranks third nationally in assists with 10.65 per set, and Roure, a freshman, was Big West Championship MVP and averages 3.14 kills per set this season. Titriyski, also a freshman, averages 4.24 kills and 0.45 aces per set. Nusterer leads the team in 1.02 blocks per set, while Choy has a team-high 1.68 digs per set and is the only player to start all 31 matches.
The Rainbow Warriors (26-5) are the No. 2 seed in the upcoming NCAA Championships and will face Penn State in a national quarterfinal match on May 8, at the Covelli Center in Columbus, Ohio. The national semifinals are on May 10, and the championship match is on May 12.
