MANOA — See you in Los Angeles Rainbow Warrior fans.

The University of Hawai’i men’s volleyball team punched its ticket into NCAA Final Four with a 25-22, 24-26, 25-23, 32-30 victory over the University of Southern California in a quarterfinal regional before a record crowd of 10,300 at Bankoh Arena at Stan Sheriff Center Saturday night.

Hawai’i improved to 28-5 with the win as the Rainbow Warriors advanced to the final four for the 11th time in program history as they’ll continues their hunt for their first national championship since 2022 when they meet Long Beach State in the semifinals on May 9th at Pauley Pavilion.

Sophomore opposite Kristian Titriyski, who missed last year’s NCAA tournament due to injury, led the effort with a match-high 19 kills.

“It’s good winning at home, definitely so happy and we expected to win this game and advance to the next stage of the tournament,” said Titriyski.

“We were preparing well all week for this team. We were watching a lot of film and in the practice gym following their tendencies.”

After only seeing five ties and two lead changes in the first two sets, the final two frames saw a combined 37 ties and 15 lead changes that ultimately ended up in Hawai’i’s favor.

“These guys have played a lot of high level volleyball. There’s nothing out there that we haven’t seen before,” said Hawai’i coach Charlie Wade.

“Just keep battling, keep making plays and I thought they really embraced that tonight and that’s how we were able to win the close sets and ended up winning the match.”

Outside hitter Adrien Roure added 13 kills while hitting .458 and had a career-high seven aces — including a stretch of four consecutive points to give Hawai’i a 20-13 lead in the fourth set.

Louis Sakanoko also finished with double-digit kills as he shook off a slow start to put down 10 of his 12 kills in the final two stanzas. The junior outside hitter started the match 0-for-9 with two hitting errors before getting his next two swings to go down for kills in the second set.

Middle blocker Trevell Jordan added eight kills without any errors on 12 swings and had a hand in four blocks.

The Rainbow Warriors also saw the return of middle Justin Todd, who went down with an injury during the Big West tournament. He added six kills with three blocks.

“Justin is on such an ascendent kind of phase in his career,” Wade said of Todd. “He really is emerging into one of the dominant middle blockers in the U.S.”

Setter Tread Rosenthal, the Big West Player of the Year, had 56 assists to pilot the offense as Hawai’i hit .328 as a team to USC’s .294. Rosenthal also had a dominant serve to close out the pivotal third set to give the Rainbow Warriors’ an important 2-1 lead in the match.

“He’s got the clutch gene and you know when the game is on the line, he’s going to give you a good effort,” Wade said of Rosenthal.

The Rainbow Warriors advance to play Long Beach State in the semifinals in what will be the two team’s fourth meeting this year. Hawai’i won the two regular season matchups, but lost in the conference tournament a weekend ago.

“Extremely motivated,” Titriyski said on the rematch against Long Beach. “We have a couple of days of rest now so we’ll clear the heads. Just try to rest as much as we can and we’ll get back to work.”

Sharks Split Senior Day Doubleheader with PacWest-Bound Vulcans

Sharks Split Senior Day Doubleheader with PacWest-Bound Vulcans

On a day that celebrated leadership, resilience, and growth, Hawai‘i Pacific softball delivered a fitting Senior Day performance—opening with a statement win before falling in the finale to PacWest Tournament-bound Hawai‘i Hilo.

Behind a dominant pitching effort in Game 1 and a competitive showing throughout the day, the Sharks split the doubleheader with the Vulcans, who have already secured their place in the upcoming conference championships.

Senior Day Spark Fuels Game 1 Shutout

HPU set the tone early with a gritty 2-0 victory, leaning on timely execution and a complete-game shutout in the circle.

Pitcher Lily Pardini was in control from start to finish, allowing just three hits while navigating minimal traffic across seven scoreless innings.

The Sharks capitalized in the fifth inning, manufacturing both runs without the benefit of a hit—showcasing discipline and pressure offense with walks, stolen bases, and situational execution.

HPU drew nine walks in the game, consistently putting pressure on UH Hilo’s pitching staff and creating the breakthrough inning that ultimately held up as the difference.

It was a complete team effort—and a fitting start to a day honoring seniors Alexis Oshiro, Taimane Panganoran, and Maddy Gonzalez, whose presence helped set the tone for the program.

Vulcans Respond Late in Game 2

In the second game, UH Hilo’s offense came alive late, pulling away for an 11-5 win to secure the split.

The Sharks struck first again, plating two runs in the second inning and later battling back to tie the game 4-4 in the fourth behind clutch hits from Taryn Hirano and Alexis Oshiro. Hirano led the way offensively, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two RBIs, continuing her standout day at the plate.

However, the Vulcans’ depth ultimately showed. UH Hilo broke the game open with a four-run sixth inning and added three more in the seventh, capitalizing on key hits and defensive miscues to create separation.

Despite the final scoreline, HPU tallied 10 hits and remained competitive deep into the game, continuing a recent stretch of improved offensive production.

Growth, Belief, and a Foundation for the Future

Following the doubleheader, first-year head coach Alex Takemura emphasized the progress his team has made—particularly in recent weeks.

“It was a very competitive game… we came out and decided to play as hard as we possibly could,” Takemura said, noting the team’s ability to “put it all together” in stretches.

That progress has started to show in the results. After a challenging first half of the season that featured a long stretch of losses during a difficult road-heavy schedule, the Sharks have begun to turn a corner late in the year—stringing together more wins over the past few weeks than they did through much of the early portion of the season.

Takemura credited that shift to growing confidence and experience within a young roster.

“The belief in each other… the hard work they put in… the youth developing experience,” he said. “Things are starting to fall into place.”

The day also carried added meaning as Takemura honored his first senior class—players he described as the standard for the program moving forward.

“Great leadership, great attitudes… the hard work, the commitment, and the selflessness—they’re examples of the type of players we want,” he said.

He also highlighted Alexis Oshiro as a tone-setter within the group, calling her “the big sister in every way” and a model for future Sharks.

What’s Next

With the season winding down, HPU continues to show signs of growth under Takemura’s leadership. While UH Hilo prepares for the PacWest Championships (May 5–7), the two teams will first close out the regular season with a doubleheader in Hilo at Vulcan Softball Field.

For the Sharks, it’s another opportunity to measure their progress and build on the momentum they’ve found late in the year—while setting the tone for what’s ahead.

Takemura summed it up simply:

“Very humbling, very exciting… I had a blast. I can’t wait for next season.”

They don’t say it’s hard to beat a team three times for no reason.

The top-seeded University of Hawai’i men’s volleyball team learned that saying the hard way on Saturday night in the 2026 OUTRIGGER Big West Men’s Volleyball Championship, falling inside the Bren Events Center in Irvine, Calif., against No. 2-seeded Long Beach State (24-4, 8-2 Big West) in a five-set marathon, (25-20, 25-27, 25-22, 28-30, 15-11).

Freshman opposite Wojciech Gajek racked up a career-best 27 kills on 45 swings to help lead the Beach to the program’s third-ever Big West tournament crown. The 6-foot-6 product of Poland also added three of LBSU’s seven service aces along with five digs and six blocks on the way to earning tournament Most Valuable Player honors.

Hawai’i (27-5, 9-1 Big West) saw their repeat bid denied despite a 20-kill, 7-dig, 5-block performance out of standout sophomore Kristian Titriyski, who missed UH’s postseason run last season while dealing with an injury.

“Certainly the match was entertaining, could’ve gone either way,” head coach Charlie Wade said after his Rainbow Warriors dropped a five-setter for the first time this season. “We had a chance, I thought, if we win the second [set], things probably go a little different and in the fourth … we had a chance to close it out, but you’ve got to give credit.”

UH took the night’s opening stanza behind big showings from Titriyski and sophomore middle blocker Ofeck Hazan, who got the start in place of injured middle blocker Justin Todd. Titriyski tallied six of his 20 kills in the first frame while Hazan got hands on four blocks and added a pair of kills for good measure.

“Ofeck is the consummate professional,” Wade said of his reserve sophomore middle blocker. “He’s a guy that’s always ready to go when called upon and he just battles … we’re just thrilled he’s on our team.”

Hawai’i put themselves in the driver seat midway through the second set, using Louis Sakanoko’s sixth kill of the match to take a 15-13 lead at the media break. The regular season champion Rainbow Warriors remained in front until the final few turns of the encore frame, seeing the Beach rally to take a late advantage and finish off the set with back-to-back putdowns from Gajek and Ben Braun.

Tempers began to flare as the two sides chirped between the net from the start of the third set, trading massive rejections and putdowns at the net. Hawai’i reached 15 first again, but LBSU countered with five of the next seven points to lead ahead, 19-17.

UH was able to even the scales at 20, setting up a race to five with a win-by-two stipulation.

Louis Sakanoko knotted the swing frame at 22, putting the ball into the hands of Tread Rosenthal for a set-ending run behind the service line. The junior setter crushed three consecutive serves, capped off by one of his two aces on the night, to put the Rainbow Warriors in the driver’s seat with a 2-1 set lead.

Long Beach State refused to lose.

Hawai’i rallied from a three-point deficit late in the fourth to knot the set at 22 and had five different chances at championship point, but the Beach fought off all five before Jackson Cryst changed the fortunes of the No. 2 seed with back-to-back aces to deliver the fourth frame to LBSU and set up a winner-take-all fifth stanza between the Beach and ‘Bows for the second time this season.

LBSU would get vengeance for the first time when Hawai’i held them off in the Pyramid back during the regular season, racing out to a 12-5 advantage before holding off one last push from the Rainbow Warriors for a 15-11 decision and first Big West title since 2024.

Skylar Varga added 16 kills, nine digs and six blocks for LBSU while Jackson Cryst tacked on eight kills, nine blocks and three momentum-changing aces.

Hawai’i got 17 kills from Louis Sakanoko and 15 kills from Adrien Roure, but the two combined for 13 hitting miscues and 11 of the 19 serving errors by UH.

The middle blocker duo of Ofeck Hazan and Trevell Jordan provided a lift on a night Hawai’i needed all hands on deck, seeing Hazan’s spot start result in six kills, no attacking errors and a team-high nine blocks while Jordan had three kills (one attack error) and three blocks in the loss for UH.

Tread Rosenthal racked up 54 assists, four kills, four digs, four blocks and two aces, continuing his ascent up the UH career leader chart in service scorers with his 114th ace helping tie him for fifth in program history with Rado Parapunov.

Long Beach State receives the Big West’s automatic qualifier berth to the NCAA Tournament while Hawai’i is expected to receive one of the at-large bids to the new 12-team bracket pool.

Asked about his belief of where Hawai’i should be playing next weekend in the regional round of the national tournament, head coach Charlie Wade held firm on the Rainbow Warriors deserving to be one of the host sites.

“Stan Sheriff Center,” the veteran head coach flatly stated.

The official bracket for the national tournament will be revealed at 10 a.m. HT on Sunday, April 26 on NCAA.com.

Good time for some get back.

It took a little bit of a warm up, but the top-seeded University of Hawai’i men’s volleyball team turned up the gas to accelerate away from No. 5 UC San Diego (13-14, 3-7 Big West) in four frames on Friday evening, (25-19, 19-25, 25-20, 25-13), advancing to the 2026 OUTRIGGER Big West men’s volleyball championship match on Saturday.

Louis Sakanoko, a 1st-team All-Big West selection, led the way with 12 kills for the Rainbow Warriors while adding four digs, three blocks and a service ace in the win. Fellow French product and 1st-team All-Big West pick Adrien Roure was the only other UH player to tally double figures in the kill department as he racked up 10 kills, five blocks and three digs.

Hawai’i (27-4, 9-1 Big West) overcame 21 attacking errors, including 13 over the first two sets, to avenge the lone conference loss of the year and clinch a second straight conference title match appearance in one fell swoop.

“That team’s given us all we can handle,” head coach Charlie Wade said of the Tritons after UH’s victory. “We weren’t as sharp offensively as we have been throughout the year but a lot of that is credit to a tough [UCSD] team and we’re fortunate to come out with a win.”

Despite losing redshirt sophomore Justin Todd early in the first set to a lower left leg injury, Hawai’i got a massive boost from the middle blocker position as Trevell Jordan and Ofeck Hazan combined for 12 kills and just two attack errors while each adding four blocks.

Hazan entrance to close out the first frame proved to be a helpful jolt of energy for UH as the top-seeded Rainbow Warriors scored the final five points after the sophomore from Israel entered and took the stanza, 25-19.

UC San Diego was able to capitalize on the continued sloppiness of Hawai’i in the second set, seeing nine more miscues (six attack, three service) from the higher seed provide the cushion needed to knot the match at one frame apiece as the Tritons hit .379 as a group.

After trading the first 18 points of the third, the Rainbow Warriors took control of the swing set behind a Kristian Titriyski service turn that resulted in five straight scoring rallies and a 14-9 lead over the Tritons.

“We settled down and got a little bit better rhythm offensively,” said Wade of the shift in momentum.

UCSD pulled no closer than three for the remainder of the scale-tipping set, seeing UH commit four total errors (two attack, two service) over the final 18 rallies on the way to a comfortable 25-20 decision and 2-1 set lead.

Hawai’i left little time for UC San Diego to recover in a must-have fourth frame, ripping off an 11-0 run that put the top-seeded Rainbow Warriors up 17-6 and forced the Tritons to burn through both timeouts.

Three more errors by UH helped UCSD extend the night a tad longer, but Sakanoko smoked his 12th putdown of the match to end the fourth frame with a 25-13 win for the regular season champion Rainbow Warriors.

Tread Rosenthal had another solid all-around day at the office as the setter went for 39 assists, seven digs and five kills on 10 swings while getting hands on three different blocks in the win by Hawai’i.

No. 2 Long Beach State dispatched No. 3 UC Irvine in straight sets in the other semifinal, setting up a rematch from last year’s Big West Tournament championship match between the Beach and ‘Bows.

Hawai’i beat LBSU in five sets on March 20 at the Pyramid and followed up the hard-fought win with a convincing sweep of the Beach on the very next night to help take full control of the regular season Big West standings. The Rainbow Warriors beat the Beach in four sets in last year’s Big West Championship match behind a 14-kill performance from Finn Kearney.

The 2026 OUTRIGGER Big West Men’s Volleyball Championship match between No. 1 Hawai’i and No. 2 Long Beach State will see first serve on Saturday at 2 p.m. HT.

HONOLULU – Leave it to a sophomore to steal the day for the seniors.

Behind a monster showing from 3B Tyler Arnold at the plate, the Hawaii Pacific University baseball team slugged a 19-1 mercy-rule shortened victory over rival Chaminade (10-35, 8-31 PacWest) on Wednesday evening to help keep pace among the top four spots in the conference while sending 14 seniors off with a victory in their final game at Hans L’Orange Park in Waipahu.

Arnold went 3-for-4 at the plate with eight runs batted in on Wednesday night, crushing three home runs to extend his program record to 29 bombs in his two-year career with the Sharks.

“That’s about as good as we’ve swung it all year,” said head coach Dane Fujinaka after the win. “I’m really proud of them. It was a tough, long stretch for the last 13 days.”

The Sharks wrapped up a marathon of 12 games over 13 days, going 8-4 to maintain third place in the conference’s regular season standings entering the final week before the PacWest tournament. The top four teams in the standings qualify for the three-day conference championships in Santa Barbara from May 6-8.

Arnold played hero, but Hawaii Pacific (25-19, 23-15 PacWest) saw plenty of contributions up and down the lineup as 21 different players got action for Fujinaka’s Sharks in the final home contest of the season.

CF Noah Hata, the captain for the Sharks, turned in a huge day at the plate in his final showing at Hans as he went 2-for-3 with a triple, a pair of walks, three runs batted in, and four more runs scored.

The senior center fielder has enjoyed an incredible final campaign with HPU, setting new career highs in runs scored, runs batted in, home runs, free passes (BB and HBP), slugging percentage and on-base percentage while pacing for a new career-low in strikeouts. He is tied for the PacWest lead in total walks drawn with 36 on the year.

“He took a chance on us, took a chance on me and an unproven coaching staff,” Fujinaka said of his senior captain. “We knew when we were recruiting him, we were going to build around him and that he was the face of HPU. He goes about his business that right way, works super hard and is the ultimate teammate.”

Arnold and Hata got Hawaii Pacific off to a hot start as Hata singled with one out in the bottom of the first before Arnold demolished his first big fly of the day for a 2-0 lead before the first frame ended.

Chaminade got a run back in the top of the third as Trysten Mooney brought home Caleb Kim with an RBI single to left, chasing HPU opener LHP Garrett Sinfield after 2.2 innings of work.

Senior Jacob Vanek (W, 4-2) entered in relief, getting the final out of the third inning to preserve the lead. The right-hander spun 2.2 scoreless innings for the Sharks, walking two and striking out one while holding the Silverswords without a hit.

Hawaii Pacific added crooked numbers in back-to-back frames, blowing the game open with seven runs in the fourth and eight runs in the fifth to go up 17-2 over Chaminade and put the PacWest’s run-rule timer into effect.

Taydem Hashimoto plated two runs with an RBI single to center in the bottom of the fourth and Kan Taguchi followed it up with a run-scoring single up the middle to make it a 5-1 lead for the Sharks with only one out.

Hata brought home Hashimoto and Taguchi with an RBI triple before Arnold delivered déjà vu to the onlookers at Hans L’Orange with another monster two-run home run to cap off a seven-run inning for the Sharks, giving a 9-1 advantage to the hosts.

After Vanek spun a 1-2-3 top half of the fifth for HPU, the Sharks tacked on eight more runs with Owen Wessel, Ethan Murakoshi, Taguchi and Hata all picking up RBI before Tyler Arnold ordered up a grand salami to clear the bases loaded with HPU players and make it a 17-1 lead.

Jevon Raboy put a ribbon on the scoring for Senior Night, delivering an RBI single to center that brought Hata and senior Keanu Spenser around to score the 18th and 19th runs of the game for the Sharks.

Christian Garcia turned the ball over to Jett Ah Sam to close it out for Hawaii Pacific, seeing the senior right-hander allow a one-out single and nothing more as he wrapped up his lone frame of action with a strikeout to clinch the run-rule shortened 19-1 victory for the Sharks.

After the laugher of a win by HPU, it was time to celebrate the 14-player senior class for the Sharks. Outside of Hata, it’s a group that saw role changes running at them for the majority of their Hawaii Pacific tenures and tackled the challenges head-on.

“I think they’re just selfless,” Fujinaka said of his seniors. “All of them, from top to bottom, they’re just super selfless and I think that’s the reason why they’re still here and they’re finishing out with us. It’s because they share the same values, they all want to win and they’re all really, really good team guys.”

Hawaii Pacific will wrap up the regular season next weekend on the Big Island, traveling to take on the University of Hawai’i-Hilo for a four-game set at Francis Wong Stadium. The Sharks sit in third place in the PacWest standings with four games to play, looking to lock up one of the four spots in the conference tournament.

Moanalua Rallies Past Aiea, Advances to Face Mililani in OIA Playoffs

Moanalua used a late offensive surge to defeat Aiea, 10-6, in the opening round of the OIA Division I baseball playoffs Tuesday, punching its ticket to the quarterfinals against West No. 1 seed Mililani.

Aiea came out aggressive, plating three runs in the first inning and building a 5-3 advantage through four frames. But Moanalua responded when it mattered most, erupting for five runs in the fifth inning to seize control of the game. Na Menehune added insurance down the stretch to secure the comeback victory.

Turning Point in the Fifth

Trailing by two entering the fifth, Moanalua strung together timely hits and capitalized on opportunities to flip the scoreboard. The five-run inning proved to be the difference, shifting momentum firmly in favor of the visitors.

Fernandez Leads the Charge

Kyler Fernandez delivered a standout performance at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs. His production helped anchor Moanalua’s offense and earned him Fun Factory VIP of the Game honors.

AJ Withy Allen provided additional firepower, finishing with three hits and three runs scored, while contributions throughout the lineup kept pressure on Aiea’s pitching staff.

Kameoka Goes the Distance

On the mound, Kallen Kameoka battled through seven innings to earn the complete-game win. Despite allowing six runs, he worked out of key jams and kept Moanalua within striking distance until the offense broke through.

Aiea’s Early Spark

Aiea showed promise early behind a strong first inning and consistent production through the middle frames. Kaimana Paiva led the Na Ali‘i with three hits and two RBIs, while Kailer Gervacio added a home run in the effort.
