If the University of Hawai'i women's volleyball team beats Missouri today in the regional semifinal in Pennsylvania, tomorrow's championship match won't be televised in Hawai'i.

The television rights to the championship match are owned by ESPN. The station will televise it on ESPNU, which is not carried locally by Oceanic Time Warner.

"We did make an effort, but they did not grant us a simulcast on (local channel) OC 16," said Lianne Killion, programming manger at Oceanic Time Warner in Hawai'i.

The regional is being played at Penn State University in State College, Pa.

Today's UH match will be televised live on K5 at 11 a.m.

If UH wins it will play the winner of the Penn State-Tennessee match 11 a.m. Saturday.

"We tried hard, but that's the end of it," said Killion. "There's nothing we can do. I don't blame the public (for being upset) because I'd like to see it, too. We know how big the fan base is here."

Killion said no delayed telecast is scheduled on ESPN or ESPN2.
