The Big West Rundown - April 15

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝙒𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙍𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 with Chloë Clark is back with a packed week across the conference. Men’s volleyball headlines with national recognition as Skyler Varga and Tred Rosenthal earn AVCA Player of the Year semifinalist nods, while UC Irvine’s Andrei Okonovich collects National Player of the Week honors and UC San Diego stuns No. 2 Hawai‘i behind a season-high 15 blocks. Across the diamond, UC Santa Barbara baseball takes a series behind Nate Vargas’ power surge, while UC San Diego’s Steel Murdock strikes out a program-record 17. In softball, Cal State Fullerton’s Lena Garcia tosses a no-hitter, while Long Beach State makes a statement with a sweep over the Gauchos. Elsewhere, UC Santa Barbara men’s tennis pushes its win streak to eight, Long Beach State beach volleyball hits the 20-win mark, and the Beach men’s golf squad climbs to No. 28 nationally. And to close it out, Hawai‘i women’s water polo secures its third straight Big West title and gears up for an NCAA Championship rematch with No. 4 California. All that and more in this week’s 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝙒𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙍𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣.
