The University of Hawaii at Hilo continued their roll through the Pacific West Conference with a 3-0 victory over Dixie State College in the UHH gym.

Set scores were 25-20, 25-20, 25-20 as the Vulcans improved to 16-3 overall and 11-1 in the PacWest and the Red Storm dropped to 12-8 overall and 7-5 in the conference.
“It wasn’t as mistake prone as the other night so it was a better match to watch,” said UHH Head Coach Tino Reyes. “We’re happy we got the sweep and hopefully we continue to play this way.”

Kawena Cubi-Otineru and Hillary Hurley led the way with 12 kills apiece while Rachael Thornquist tallied 11 kills on 23 attempts with one error. She also tallied 10 block assists.
“Rachel’s been real good,” said Reyes. “She’s almost an outside hitter … she’s getting that many sets. Kawena had a good night tonight and they both carried us offensively.

“When Hillary and Leilani [Ramsey] don’t play well, that’s a nice thing to have.”
Passing remains a concern for the Vulcans in their struggle for consistency.

“Most of our passes were on the net and we can’t play off the net,” said Reyes. “Our system is we want to pass the ball off the net by five feet. So if we make a little bit of a mistake we have five feet to play with and we’re okay. But we were passing the ball on the net and over the net.”
