FULLERTON, Calif. – At Titan Gymnasium, the  No. 3 University of Hawai'i women's volleyball team defeated Cal State Fullerton in four sets, 14-25, 25-16, 25-17, 25-9. The Rainbow Wahine close their regular season at 29-1 with CSUF ending its season at 13-16.
 
With the regular season now complete, the 'Bows await their seeding in the NCAA Tournament and a potential of hosting rounds one and two.
 
The win comes just two days after the 'Bows swept New Mexico State to win their 11th WAC Tournament title. Kanani Danielson finished with a match-high 20 kills to go along with 14 digs. Emily Maeda posted a match-high 19 digs and Jane Croson added 13 kills and 14 digs.
 
Kayla Neto led the Titans with 12 kills, and Gabrielle Dewberry added a team-high 16 digs.

CSUF led 12-9 in set three but UH responded with six straight points to take the lead. A Jennifer Edmond (10 kills, 5 digs) kill brought the Titans to within 16-14, but the 'Bows took control from that point on. Hawai'i sealed the match with a convincing set four win, scoring the set's final 10 points for the 25-9 victory.
