After being named the MPSF/Molten Player of the Week, Long Beach State’s sophomore hitter Kyle Ensing was named the Sports Imports/AVCA Division I-II National Player of the Week.
It is the first time Ensing has earned the award. The honors come after an impressive performance last week where the sophomore posted a pair of double digit kill performances.
Ensing helped the No.4 49ers sweep No. 5 Hawai’I Jan. 18 and Jan. 20 in the Walter Pyramid. In LBSU’s Jan. 18 match against Hawai’i Ensing had a double-double with 24 kills and 10 digs.
In LBSU’s next game, Ensing had a .579 hitting percentage while knocking in 11 kills as the 49ers swept Hawai’i.
