UH dominated Pepperdine in set one en route to a 25-14 win. The 'Bows won six of the set's first seven points highlighted by a pair of Hewitt kills. The lead swelled to 14 points at 19-5 as Hawai'i cruised to the early set lead. 

Set two proved to be a much taller order, but the 'Bows were equal to the task. The set was close throughout, as neither team led by more than two points at any time. With the score knotted at 21-21, Emily Hartong (8 K) and Danielson each recorded a kill to give UH a late lead. The teams traded points before a Satele kill gave UH the win. 

Pepperdine prevented the sweep with a 25-20 win in set three, but Hawai'i rebounded with a set four win to close out the match. The 'Bows opened with five straight points and never looked back. The Waves cut the lead to 21-16 but would score just one more point.
