DENVER – University of Hawai'i quarterback Bryant Moniz was named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference offensive player of the week following his performance in last week's victory at Army.

 

Moniz, a junior from Wahiawa, O'ahu (Fresno City College), completed 25-of-36 passes for 343 yards and three touchdowns in the 31-28 win. Moniz led the Warriors to touchdowns in three of their first four possessions with scoring passes to Royce Pollard, Rodney Bradley, and Kealoha Pilares.

 

Following a fumble recovery late in the fourth quarter, Moniz drove his team from Hawai'i's 27-yard line to the Army 14-yard line in 15 seconds on two pass plays to set up the game-winning field goal with seven seconds left.

 

On the year, Moniz has passed for 612 yards and four touchdowns and his efficiency rating is 149.5. He ranks 12^th nationally in total offense, averaging 316.0 yards per game.

 

This award is Moniz's first of his career. He and the Warriors will next play at Colorado, Saturday, Sept. 18.
