Loyola-Chicago beats Hawaii in volleyball

By Stephen Tsai
Advertiser Staff Writer

Loyola-Chicago outlasted host Hawai'i, 30-23, 32-30, 28-30, 31-29, 15-7 in the opening round of the 13th Outrigger Invitational Friday night.

A crowd of 1,963 saw the Warriors lose in the tournament opener for only the second time.

The third-ranked Warriors fell to 2-3. Opposite attacker Jim Clar blasted a career-high 22 kills and left-side hitter Lauri Hakala added 17. But they combined for 19 attack errors. Starter Matt Vanzant and Jake Schkud could not provide an offensive oomph at the second left-side position.

The Ramblers scored seven of the final eight points in the first-to-15 final game.
