NEWS & NOTES

• This past weekend, UH hosted fans in the stands for women's volleyball for the first time since 2019 in the SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. Even though there were only a few spectators in attendance, their energy was palpable and helped propel UH two sweeps over both UC Davis and UC Riverside. Under COVID protocols, only 500 tickets were available. 
• On Oct. 28, it was announced by the City and County of Honolulu, that COVID crowd restrictions would be lifted on Nov. 3. The next Rainbow Wahine volleyball home match will be in front of a full capacity crowd. This week's basketball games and football game will be open to full capacity.
