Vandals Fall to Hawai'i in Four
HONOLULU – Kaela Straw's match-high 20 kills were not enough to lift Idaho volleyball past Hawai'i Thursday, on the first day of the Outrigger Volleyball Challenge in Honolulu. The host Rainbow Wahine (3-2) edged out the Vandals (4-3) 3-1, winning 25-21, 23-25, 25-18, 25-22.
Idaho came out fast, taking a 14-7 lead in the first set before Hawai'i called timeout and regrouped. The Rainbow Wahine tied it at 15, took and 18-17 lead and eventually took a 25-21 win in the set. Hawai'i made a similar push in the second set after the Vandals again took the lead, but this time Idaho was able to stave off the rally and preserve the 25-23 set victory.
