The University of Hawai’i-Hilo Vulcans women’s volleyball team made sure to come away with a win on their trip to Oahu over the weekend.
After taking nationally-ranked Chaminade to five sets on Saturday, UH-Hilo came into the Shark Tank and took home a four-set win over Hawai’i Pacific Sunday afternoon in a PacWest match.
Set scores were 25-16, 24-26, 25-15, 25-22.
The Vulcans (14-7 overall, 9-2 PacWest) were led by a trio of hitters that finished with double-digit kills. Chase Koepke led the way with 17 kills on 30 swings.
Taylor Tullo followed with 15 kills and Samara Cruz had 12 kills to round out the top attackers for UH-Hilo.
The Sharks (1-16, 1-10) only had one player in double-digit kills in Sofia Cooper. She took swings from all three positions in the front row and had 11 kills on 23 attempts.
For her efforts, Cooper earned “Timmy T’s Grinder of the Game” honors in the loss.
