Desiree Agader is having a good volleyball season.
The University of Hawai‘i Hilo setter has been named the Pacific West Conference Player of the Week for the second time this season.
She first received the honor the in early September.
PacWest officials named the 5-foot-5 sophomore the Player of the Week on Monday after her performance on the road against Notre Dame deNamur over the weekend.
She posted 198 assists in five road matches during the week, leading the Vulcans to a 4-1 record, a 3-1 West Region mark and a 2-0 PacWest sweep.
On Friday, Agader recorded a career-high 67 assists against NDNU and followed that up with 62 assists Saturday.
Agader, who walked on to the team last year, also has been playing while injured.
The 2006 Waimea High School graduate was no doubt a key player for the Vulcans as they handed the Argonauts their first two losses of the season.
The first time Agader was named the PacWest Player of the Year, it was for posting 112 assists in two matches.
She registered 51 in a 3-1 victory over St. Martin’s College and 6 in a 5-2 win over Central Washington University.
She also has eight kills and 10 aces so far on the season.
UH Hilo (13-5 overall, 5-0 PacWest) hosts Dominican University at 7 p.m. tonight at the UH Hilo gym.
