Wahine Denies the Bluejays

Recap | Box Score

The #7 Rainbow Wahine received a scare from the #23 ranked Creighton Bluejays as this match that took place on a neutral floor went to five sets. The score went (25-17, 25-16, 19-25, 20-25, 15-9) and gave the Wahine their tenth win of the season.

Hawaii was led by senior outside hitter Emily Hartong who got her sixth double-double of the season with 20 kills and 16 digs. The next best offensive weapon was sophomore outside hitter Tai Manu-Olevau who had another career high in kills and digs with 14 each. Junior middle Kalei Adolpho had 14 kills while hitting (.480) and senior libero Ali Longo picked up 23 digs.

Congrats to Longo for picking up her 1000th career dig in the second set. Although it does not get announced because she transferred from Penn State after her sophomore season, it is still a great accomplishment for her.
