UH volleyball No. 3
Advertiser Staff
The University of Hawai'i volleyball team has ascended to No. 3 in both the CSTV/AVCA top-15 poll and Molten/Volleyball top-10 rankings."That's probably about right," UH coach Mike Wilton said.
This past weekend, the Warriors swept the two-match series from UCLA to improve to 13-4 overall and 11-3 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. They have won nine in a row. Coupled with UC Irvine's sweep of Brigham Young, last week's top-ranked team, the Warriors moved into second place in the MPSF.
UC Irvine, BYU and UH are ranked 1-2-3 in both polls this week. Sixteen Division I and II coaches vote on the CSTV/AVCA poll; the editors of Volleyball Magazine choose the Molten/Volleyball rankings.
"We're not too concerned about (the polls) right now," Wilton said. "We're second in the league, which is what I pay attention to."
