Rosenthal led the Rainbow Warriors to the Big West regular season title with a 9–1 record, ranking first in the conference and third nationally in assists per set (10.63), while directing the nation’s No. 4 offense.
A semifinalist for AVCA (American Volleyball Coaches Association) National Player of the Year, Rosenthal earned a record 11 Big West Setter of the Week honors this season and has 23 for his career. He was also named first-team all-conference for the third straight year after helping UH finish runner-up at the Big West Championship against Long Beach State.
