Hawai'i, after a stumbling, humbling early season, did its own humbling Saturday night, hammering the Wolf Pack, 30-16, 30-7, 30-17. A Stan Sheriff Center crowd of 6,514 watched in awe as the 11th-ranked Rainbow Wahine (11-6, 5-0 WAC) played a near-perfect match.

Nevada (10-6, 5-1) was never in it. That wouldn't have been so shocking if the Pack hadn't come here with a nine-match winning streak and the memory of two down-to-the-last-gasp five-game losses against UH a year ago.

Hawai'i took Nevada's breath away last night, with lots of help from the Wolf Pack. The second-game smash was the lowest point total for a UH opponent since it held Boise State and SMU to six in 2002. Nevada's 40 total points made it the most lopsided UH victory since rally scoring started in 2001.

Junior transfer Sarah Mason was all but untouchable in anchoring an ultra-efficient Rainbow offense, going for 18 kills without an error. Her .545 percentage helped the 'Bows out-hit Nevada by 500 points (.435 to negative .054).

Carly Sorensen had 10 of her team's 26 kills and was the only Nevada hitter with a positive percentage.

The Wolf Pack's start was so slow it was in reverse for much of the first game.

Hawai'i scored eight of the first nine points before Nevada had to take its first timeout. But by the time it took its last, the 'Bows were up 17-6 and scoring in bunches.

The Rainbow Wahine didn't have their first hitting error until deep in the game. That would be it. Hawai'i hit .412 behind Mason's 6 for 10.

In contrast, Nevada could not find the court, combining for 10 kills, 10 errors and tons of frustration.

Then it got really bad. Victoria Prince dropped in two aces to open the second game.

When she went back to serve again, Hawai'i was up 11-6. By the time Prince was done — after another ace, more Mason and even more bad Wolf Pack hitting, it was 20-6.

Juliana Sanders hit out — one of the few blotches in the Rainbow performance — and Nevada celebrated a rare point by serving out. Then Kanoe Kamana'o served the last nine points as the Pack grew completely frustrated.

It hit negative .256 in Game 2, with all-WAC middle Salave'a Salaia contributing six errors without a kill.
