Hawaii sweeps Long Beach for Big West women’s volleyball tournament title, NCAA berth
The streak lives.
Hawaii earned its 30th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament with its most dominant outing of the season: a 26-24, 25-15, 25-10 sweep of host Long Beach State in the title match of the Outrigger Big West Women’s Volleyball Championship at the Walter Pyramid in Long Beach, Calif., on Saturday.
UH (23-8) will learn its seeding and destination in the 64-team NCAA field during the selection show at 1 p.m. Hawaii time on Sunday.
Robyn Ah Mow’s second-seeded Rainbow Wahine built on Friday’s sweep of Cal Poly in the semifinals and only seemed to gain strength as Saturday’s match progressed. They hit .330 for the match to the .123 of fourth-seeded LBSU (21-10), which they defeated on consecutive Saturdays.
