With its most prolific hitter home nursing an injured ankle, ninth-ranked Hawai'i drilled San Jose State last night, going the entire volleyball match at Spartan Gym without getting blocked.

The Rainbow Wahine (20-6, 14-0 WAC) swept SJSU, 30-16, 30-18, 30-17, for their 13th consecutive victory. It also extended Hawai'i's streak against Western Athletic Conference opponents to 120.

For one night, those seven-plus years of dominance were overshadowed. Dave Shoji has coached Hawai'i 31 years. He couldn't remember going an entire match without getting blocked, but there was at least once: More than five years ago (Oct. 16, 2000), when the 'Bows blitzed Tulsa, with the 'Canes going block-less.

Maybe he should miss practice more often. Shoji came home Thursday to watch his sons play in the state high school volleyball final. He returned to his team Friday night, leaving assistant Kari Ambrozich to run practice that afternoon.

"Obviously they prepared very well for the match," Shoji said. "They came out with a lot of energy. It was good to see.

"The girls want to elevate their game and tonight it was a good effort by everybody. It's nice to know we can raise our level against a struggling team."

The Rainbows hit .516, a percentage that would be more memorable if they hadn't hit .573 against Cal State Northridge earlier this season. Before that, they hadn't hit .500 against a team since 2001.

It came three nights after UH clinched its 10th consecutive WAC regular-season title.

"They came in with a great attitude," Ambrozich said. "It's a really good testament to their maturity and goal-setting and all the things they are trying to accomplish as a team."

All-American setter Kanoe Kamana'o delivered the ball to a court-full of hot hitters all 77 minutes. They missed almost nothing, except the SJSU block.

Middle Juliana Sanders hit .800 (12 for 15). Outside Tara Hittle, who came into the match hitting .151, had a season-high 15 kills and hit .467.

All-American Victoria Prince, who played just two games, had the worst hitting percentage of all the starters, at .462. She made up for it with a career-high five aces.

"She was cracking it hard," Anderson said, "and they didn't want any part of it."

Jamie Houston replaced Sarah Mason, who injured her ankle Wednesday. The freshman responded with eight kills and six stuffs, which shared team-high honors with Sanders.

"We've known she can be a terminator," Shoji said. "And she blocks the slide (play) really well. She gets her hands in good position."

In contrast, San Jose State (11-15, 6-8) hit just .106. Jennifer Senftleben, who is second in WAC kills, hit .029 with nine kills and eight errors — two more than the entire UH team.

Six of Houston's kills came in the first game as she and Sanders set the phenomenal pace early. Then went a combined 11 for 13 in Game 1.

Prince's fifth ace made it 16-8 in Game 2, and was the 'Bows' sixth straight point. A moment later, Alicia Arnott served through another 6-0 surge.

Hawai'i scored 15 of the first 17 points in the final game, with Houston serving nine in a row. Reserves Kari Gregory and Nickie Thomas went a combined 7 for 8 in that game, when the 'Bows hit a match-best .576.

UH plays its final home matches Thursday, against second-place New Mexico State, and Friday, against Louisiana Tech. UH seniors Prince, Susie Boogaard and Ashley Watanabe will be honored after that match.

Kamana'o was named to the ESPN The Magazine COSIDA Academic All-District third team in District 8.

The junior setter was second-team academic all-district in 2004 and is a two-time All-American. She was last year's WAC Player of the Year.
