Hawaii vs UC San Diego (Night One)


UC San Diego Tritons
2014 Record: (0-5) (0-4)
Top Players: Nick Iorfino, Johl Awerkamp, Scot Metzger
Head Coach: Kevin Ring
Series Record: 45-4 (UH)
Last Meeting: Apr. 13, 2014 (3-2 UH)

Coverage:
Televised: OCSports
Live Stats: Hawaii Athletics

Set One: 25-15 (Hawaii)
UCSD gave Hawaii the set as they had 13 errors. Hawaii's block (5.0) was solid and the bad passing by UCSD made their set decisions very predictable. Sedore leads with 4 kills and Averill has 2 kills with 4 blocks.

Set Two: 25-13 (Hawaii)
The middles for Hawaii continue to impress as Averill (6 kills, .750%, 6 blocks) and Holt (3 kills, .333%, 1 block) did well. Reserves Franciskovic, McKellar, and Timmer came in. Timmer served four points as Hawaii had 3 straight blocks in the beginning. McKellar had 2 kills on 2 swings.

Set Three: 25-21 (Hawaii)
This set had a lot more errors than usual keeping the set closer. Scott Hartley made his first Warrior appearance since the 2012 season (since he redshirted 2013) and started the third set in place of Olsen. Hartley only got two attempts but had three digs.

Overall:
The Warriors did not play down. I feel bad for UC San Diego because they have not been able to be the team they were the last two seasons. I think Sundays match will be the same with new players getting playing time. I would like to see more of McKellar at opposite, Etim-Thomas or Radner in the middle, Hartley or Timmer or Durni at outside, and Komisarek at libero.
