Seventh-ranked Hawai'i kept its road record perfect, sweeping Idaho, 25-17, 25-13, 25-21, tonight in a Western Athletic Conference volleyball match at Memorial Gym in Moscow.

The Rainbow Wahine (21-3, 14-1 WAC) have not lost a match on the road this season, winning all 21 sets going into their final regular-season conference match Monday at Fresno State.

The 'Bows showed remarkable balance behind setter Dani Mafua against the third-place Vandals (16-9, 9-5), who had won 9 of their last 11. Hawai'i got 11 kills from middle Amber Kaufman and 10 from freshman Kanani Danielson, who added 12 digs. The other three starting hitters all had at least five kills.

Idaho did slow down Jamie Houston, who had hit better than .500 in her last four matches. Houston finished with five kills on negative .043 hitting.

The Rainbows did an even better job on Haley Larsen, the Vandals' most effective hitter, limiting her to nine kills and negative .027 hitting. Hawai'i outblocked the WAC's best blocking team 11-5, with Kaufman getting five stuffs and Aneli Cubi-Otineru and Houston four each. Libero Tara Hittle also had 12 digs.

Hawai'i never trailed in the opening set despite Houston getting shut out offensively. After losing the first three points, Idaho tied it at 5 and 6, but an 8-3 UH run put it up 14-9 and the Vandals could get no closer than two again. The Rainbows blocked six balls in the set, with Houston in on half and Nickie Thomas, Cubi-Otineru and Kaufman getting two stuffs apiece.

Idaho would stay with UH only to 4-all in the second set. The 'Bows scored 11 of the next 14 behind Kaufman, Danielson and five Vandal errors to pull away. Houston got her first three kills in that set.

Hawai'i trailed for the first time in the final set, and Idaho pulled ahead 18-16 before the 'Bows scored nine of the final 12 points.

The Rainbow Wahine's match at Fresno State starts at 5 p.m. HST Monday. It will be broadcast live on ESPN 1420 AM. Hawai'i is back home again Saturday, in a non-conference match against Utah Valley. The annual alumnae exhibition will precede that match.
