"Now we're ready to rock," setter Brian Beckwith said following tonight's 30-27, 24-30, 30-24, 30-25 victory over Stanford in the regular-season finale.
A Stan Sheriff Center crowd of 3,765 saw the Warriors win their 10th in a row and finish tied for sixth in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. They are 13-13 overall and 11-11 in the MPSF.
But the Warriors hold the tie-breaking advantage over Cal State Northridge, and have earned the No. 6 seed in the MPSF playoffs, which begin this week.
The Warriors will open on the road against No. 3 seed UC Irvine on Saturday.
"I'm very happy, very pleased," said UH coach Mike Wilton, who has never had a losing regular season in 30 years of coaching. "When we were 3-13 (last month), this is as good as it could become. It couldn't get any better."
