Hawaii women’s volleyball sweeps Cal Poly in Big West semifinal
The two historic powers in Big West women’s volleyball will decide the winner of the conference’s first formal tournament in the sport.
After Long Beach State stunned regular-season champion and top-seeded UC Santa Barbara in five sets at the Walter Pyramid, Hawaii joined the host Beach in the Outrigger Big West championship match by sweeping Cal Poly, 25-17, 25-18, 26-24, on Friday night.
UH (22-8) and LBSU (21-9) split the season series, with each winning on its home court. UH beat the Beach in four at the Stan Sheriff Center one week ago, a match with dramatic swings of momentum that allowed the Rainbow Wahine to vault straight into the semifinals.
