Colditz was named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Player of the Week on Monday, then he took North Eastern Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors on Tuesday.

Later that day, during his team's 3-0 victory over Keuka College, Colditz had 12 kills, eight digs, and one solo block.
On the week, Colditz totaled 50 kills (4.55 kills per set), 21 digs (1.91 digs per set), and 52.5 points (4.8 points per set). This is the first-ever ECAC weekly award earned by Colditz.
