HONOLULU – Fans can get their first glimpse of the 2020 University of Hawai'i beach volleyball squad when the SandBows host a weekend of competition against NCAA runner-up USC at Queen's Beach this weekend.  Admission is free for both days.
 
The Rainbow Wahine will face rival USC in a pair of afternoon exhibition dual matches on Saturday, Nov. 30 beginning at noon. The following day, the teams will compete in a 16-team pairs tournament, beginning at 7 a.m. The pairs tournament culminates with the championship at 3 p.m., which will be televised live on OC16 Sports.
 
UH and USC will meet up for the first time since the Women of Troy knocked the Rainbow Wahine out of last year's NCAA Tournament. The SandBows return seven players from last year's squad  that finished 28-11 overall and claimed its fourth straight NCAA top-four finish. Five newcomers join this year's team, highlighted by high school All-American Ilihia Huddleston, the younger sister of former SandBow Hi'ilawe Huddleston.
