Three hours after being named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation's Player of the Week, Theocharidis won the national award from the American Volleyball Coaches Association/Sports Imports.
"I'm happy for him," UH coach Mike Wilton said. "You figured, sooner or later, he was going to get that (national award). He played great lately, but so did the team."
