This loss is going to hurt for the rest of the season and much longer because the UH-Hilo volleyball team had Cal Poly Pomona on the ropes and a victory seemingly in the bag.
Despite leading 2-0 in sets, the Vuls couldn’t close the door and fell to the Broncos 18-25, 11-25, 25-21, 25-20, 15-11 in their season-opener Monday at UHH Gym, where fans starting going home before the final set.
For most of the match, Cal Poly struggled everywhere, except for the brilliant setting from junior Alina Smith, who was born with hands of silk.
