In the match at UCLA, ranked No. 11 last week, Ammerman tallied a career-high 66 assists in five games, adding a team-high 11 digs, while leading UCI to a .336 hitting percentage. His 66 assists are ranked eighth in the UCI rally scoring record books. For the week, Ammerman averaged nearly 12 assists per game, while adding nearly two digs and blocks per game, all while leading the Anteaters to an impressive .322 hitting percentage. This is the first Sports Imports Division I-II Men's National Player of the Week Ammerman has received, and he is the thirteenth player from UCI ever to earn those honors.
