Pablo Oliveira earns his fifth CUNYAC Player of the Week honor despite a 1-2 week for the Nationally-ranked (#7 AVCA) Bearcats. The 6'4" outside hitter from Uberlandia, Brazil was simply amazing against two opponents ranked in the top five by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

Closing out the week versus #1 Springfield, he totaled 18 kills and two service aces. For the seven games (he did not play vs. City Tech) he averaged 5.29 kills and 1.71 digs per game.

Honor Roll: Matthew Ng (CCNY), RJ LeBlanc (Lehman)
