HONOLULU – Tai Manu-Olevao had nine kills and 12 digs and Olivia Magill posted a match-high four blocks but the 17^th-ranked University of Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine volleyball team were edged in each set of a sweep to No. 25 Arizona State on Saturday night in the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational at the Stan Sheriff Center. Set scores were 25-21, 25-23, 25-23.
 
Manu-Olevao recorded her nine kills at a .304 clip and added three blocks but couldn't stop her team from dropping its first match.

The 'Bows (1-1) trailed early in the opening set but fought back and remained in striking distance. Later, kills by Magill and Manu-Olevao cut the lead to just one point at 18-17. UH would never come all the way back though as a Gardner kill off a Kalei Adolpho (4 kills, 2 blocks) attack gave ASU a 25-21 win.
 
Set two saw the 'Bows lead early when a Magill kill broke a 3-3 tie and Adolpho pushed the 'Bows ahead 9-6 with a kill of her own. Block assists by Adolpho and Tayler Higgins (6 digs, 2 blocks) extended to an 18-14 lead, but not one they would hold on to. ASU rallied and went on an 8-2 run to close the set and take the commanding two-set lead.
 
In the third set, the Rainbow Wahine again led early but a short three-point burst by the Sun Devils turned the tables. UH led 16-15 off one of Kalei Greeley's six kills but Gardner capped the short run with a kill to give ASU an 18-16 advantage. The set saw four ties down the stretch but it were the Sun Devils who prevailed to clinch with win.
