University of Hawaii junior Irene Gonzalez was named the Big West water polo player of the week on Wednesday following an 11-goal road trip.

Along with her scoring, the Rainbow Wahine utility player contributed seven assists and 12 steals to UH’s 5-0 week. She began the trip with four goals in a 23-5 win over Santa Clara and scored in all four of UH’s wins in the ASU Cross Conference Challenge last weekend. She posted two goals and three assists in UH’s 10-9 win over then-No. 5 Arizona State.

UH (7-1) moved up a spot to No. 5 in the Collegiate Water Polo Association poll released on Wednesday, highest among Big West teams.
