After two easy victories Friday and Saturday, the UCLA women’s volleyball team lost a hard-fought four-set match to Hawai’i on Sunday.
The Bruins swept their first two matches of the season in the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational in Honolulu, Hawaii. After taking down Kansas State in three sets in their season opener Friday, the Bruins took the court on Saturday and won another three-setter against San Diego. The Bruins then took on Hawai’i to close out their weekend on Sunday.
Senior Dicey McGraw led the offense with 21 kills in the first two matches, and the Bruin defense stifled its opponents. UCLA recorded 15 blocks in its six victorious sets, while only allowing eight. Kansas State could only hit for a .064 clip, and San Diego only managed to hit .134 against the Bruins.
After not dropping a set for two consecutive matches, the Bruins lost a four-set battle to Hawai’i.
