DAVIS, Calif. – Head coach Dave Shoji won his 1,100^th career match and the University of Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine volleyball team swept UC Davis 25-17, 25-23, 25-17 on Saturday night at The Pavilion. The 'Bows improve to 24-2 overall and 16-0 in the Big West Conference, and finish the regular season with an undefeated road record.

Outside of a late second-set rally by the Aggies, it was a dominant performance by Hawai'i. The 'Bows were efficient on offense, hitting .324 for the match compared to UC Davis's .170 attack percentage. Jane Croson and Emily Hartong both had 12 kills for Hawai'i, with Hartong adding 15 digs. Mita Uiato recorded a season-high six blocks and Stephanie Hagins hit a team season-best .857 (6-0-7) in her first career start for the Rainbow Wahine.

Devon Damelio had a match-high 13 kills and Caroline Mercado posted 15 digs for UC Davis, who fell to 16-14 overall and 10-7 in conference.

The 'Bows took an early lead in the opening set on their way to a comfortable 25-17 win. Jane Croson put down six kills in the opening frame and Hagins added four more.  A pair of kills by Allison Whitson (10 kills, 7 digs) cut the lead to 14-10, but a 6-2 Hawai'i run increased the lead to eight points.

Jade Vorster (8 kills, 4 blocks) put her stamp on set two early and often. She buried UH's first four kills and helped her team to an early 9-2 lead. Whitson had a pair of kills to help the Aggies cut into the lead, but after a Croson kill the 'Bows led 22-17 and were poised to close out the match. UCD rallied to tie the set at 23-23, but a pair of Hartong kills ended the threat.

Hawai'i returns home to play its final regular season matches. The 'Bows will host Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday, Nov. 21 and UC Riverside on Friday, Nov. 23.
