It’s early but UH-Hilo is, so far, living up to other coaches’ expectations in the PacWest preseason poll. And that’s not a good thing.
The Vulcans, who were picked to finish 11th, have lost to teams picked ahead of them and beaten teams picked below them in the poll.
Fresno Pacific, selected to finish 10th or one spot ahead of the Vuls, pulled out a 25-20, 25-22, 22-25, 25-21 win on Saturday at UHH Gym, showing much better balanced efficiency.
UHH (4-6, 1-3 PacWest) has lost four of its last five. The Sunbirds (3-9, 2-2) snapped a two-match skid.
