HONOLULU – It was a happy Senior Night for the Rainbow Wahine faithful as the University of Hawai'i women's volleyball team, in a must win match, concluded the regular season with a 25-19, 25-16, 25-15 sweep of UC Davis on Saturday night at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Â
Following the win, seniors
Kalei Adolpho and
Sarah Mendoza were honored along with
Ginger Long who will be departing the program after four seasons.
Â
Nikki Taylor led a well-balanced Rainbow Wahine performance with nine kills and four blocks.
Olivia Magill had eight kills and five blocks,
Tai Manu-Olevao recorded nine kills and four digs, and
Kalei Adolpho had eight kills with no errors.
Â
Allie Wegener led the Aggies with nine kills and nine digs.
Â
The 'Bows (21-6, 13-3 BWC) got off to a solid start in set one, as a Mendoza ace and Adolpho kill helped UH to an early 9-4 lead. The pace would not continue however as the Aggies went on a 6-2 run to cut the lead to one point, but UH regrouped and pulled away down the stretch.
Â
Set two saw another good start for Hawai'i. Adolpho,
Kalei Greeley, and
Tayler Higgins all got in on three straight blocks to lift the 'Bows to a 10-3 lead. The Aggies hung around, never letting the set get away from them until back-to-back kills from Taylor and Adolpho gave the 'Bows a 17-9 lead.
Â
Set three proved to be a formality as the 'Bows made quick work of the Aggies (15-14, 10-6 BWC) to complete the sweep.
Â
With the regular season behind them, the Rainbow Wahine await their NCAA Tournament fate as the field of 64 will be announced on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET (3:30 p.m. HT).
