The SandBows swept Jacksonville 5-0 to close out its appearance in the Arizona Invitational  in Tucson before taking down No. 12 Grand Canyon later in the day in Phoenix.
 
The Rainbow Wahine made quick work of the Dolphins (0-3) in their first match of the morning claiming all five courts in straight sets.The win concluded a 3-0 appearance in the tournament with wins yesterday over Arizona State and No. 6 Arizona. The SandBows were absolutely dominating in their three dual matches, winning 14 of 15 flights.
 
UH then traveled north to Phoenix for an evening match at Grand Canyon, handing the No. 12 Antelopes (4-1) their first loss of the year. UH picked up straight set wins on three of the five courts with its only loss coming in a three-set marathon when Mikayla Tucker and Morgan Martin fell to Molly Turner and Tjasa Kotnik 21-23, 21-14, 19-17 at the No. 1 position.
