The University of Hawaii at Hilo ran through Urbana College in taking a 3-0 victory in the Nanook Classic hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks

Set scores were 25-11, 25-10 and 25-10.

The dynamic trio of Josimara Pinheiro, Fabiane Seben and Morgan Bonney continue to lead the Vulcans. Pinheiro tallied 13 kills on 21 attempts with two errors for a .524 attack percentage. Although she had one led kill, Seben didn’t have an error on 18 tries for a .667 hitting average. Yet, Bonney tallied only 11 kills but that was on 13 tries with only one error for a .769 hitting percentage.

“We were able to do well with ball control which allowed us to run our offense very effectively,” UHH head coach Bruce Atkinson said. “We put in some subs in the third and struggled a little bit due the lack of chemistry and intensity but finished strong.”

The Vulcans controlled the first two sets with hitting percentages of .455 (14 kills, 22 attempts, four errors) and .560 (17 kills, 25 attempts and three errors). The numbers fell in game three to 18 kills on 39 attempts with nine errors for a .231 hitting percentage.
