Hawaii loses at UCLA in volleyball
Advertiser Staff
LOS ANGELES — An atrocious servicing performance doomed the University of Hawaii's men's volleyball team Wednesday night, as the Warriors fell to reigning NCAA champion UCLA, 30-25, 33-31, 28-30, 31-29."We served horribly, and that's what cost us the match — clearly," said Wilton, whose team fell to 2-5 overall and 2-3 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.
Hawaii outhit the eighth-ranked Bruins (4-6, 2-5) in every game and totaled a season-high 18.5 blocks (to UCLA's 11.5), but 27 service errors and no aces took a heavy toll.
Sophomore outside hitter Jim Clar had 22 kills (and just five errors) for a .447 hitting percentage but committed a team-worst six service miscues.
