Volleyball Makes It A 2-0 Trip to O‘ahu

HONOLULU, Hawai'i – Hawai'i Hilo Women's Volleyball made it a 2-0 weekend trip to O'ahu with victories over Chaminade and HPU, both by scores of 3-1.

The win over the Silverswords was the first since Sept. 2021, breaking an eight-match skid against the defending Pacific West Conference champions. Friday's match was a non-conference contest — their previous matchup earlier this month in Hilo, a five-set defeat, counted toward the league standings.

HAWAI'I HILO vs CHAMINADE (OCT. 17)
  • Set scores: 25-23, 25-17, 24-26, 25-17
  • The Vulcans built off their most-recent victory, a sweep of Vanguard on Oct. 9, and committed just 10 attack errors.
  • Malu Garcia led with 12 kills (.344) followed by Alohi Garcia (.471) and Isabella Hadaller each with nine total.
  • Chaminade posted 13 more kills and nine more digs than Hawai'i Hilo, but the Silverswords committed 32 attack errors and 14 service errors.
HAWAI'I HILO vs HPU (OCT. 18)
  • Set scores: 25-18, 21-25, 25-18, 25-20
  • Reigning PacWest Conference Defender of the Week Isabella Freeman picked up 11 kills on .444 attacking with nine total blocks.
  • Malu Garcia totaled seven blocks to go with 11 kills and seven digs.
  • Hawai'i Hilo logged its fourth consecutive win over the Sharks.

OTHER NOTES

  • Emerson Reinke logged 32 and 40 assists, respectively, bringing the senior's season total to 868 to currently lead all of the NCAA Division II.
  • Reinke also moved her career dig numbers to 880, entering the top 10 in the program's all-time record books — surpassing Kaila Lizama (2016-2019).
  • Hawai'i Hilo currently sits at No. 5 in the PacWest Conference standings behind Fresno Pacific and Point Loma unbeaten at the top. Chaminade and Biola follows ahead in the No. 3 and No. 4 spots, respectively.
  • Hawai'i Hilo: 15-7 Overall (4-2 PacWest)
  • Chaminade: 11-11 Overall (5-1 PacWest)
  • HPU: 5-16 Overall (0-5 PacWest)
  • The Vulcans also secured the maximum three points for volleyball competition under the PacWest Hawai'i Challenge, a points-based competition between the three Hawai'i Division-II schools in head-to-head matchups or common team competition events. Hawai'i Hilo went 3-1 in contests against Chaminade and HPU this season. Both the Silverswords and Sharks have logged just one win and will play each other one more time on Oct. 28 with the winner finishing tied with the Vulcans and earning three points.
