Hawaii men’s volleyball team retains top ranking after loss to Penn State, win over UCLA
HONOLULU — An eventful weekend for the Hawaii men’s volleyball team did not change the Rainbow Warriors’ national ranking.
Two-time defending national champion UH remained the top-ranked team in the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s top-15 poll on Monday. A four-set loss to No. 3 Penn State – the team’s first defeat of the season – and four-set win over No. 2 UCLA in the Outrigger Volleyball Invitational amounted to a wash for the poll voters.
UH (17-1), which was the last Division I team without a loss until the Nittany Lions’ upset on Thursday, garnered 14 of 22 first-place votes, while PSU got the remaining eight.
