Wāhine sweep Rebels for ninth straight victory

The Rainbow Wāhine volleyball team swept UNLV in back-to-back nights, taking the series win and remaining undefeated in conference play. Kahlia Bailey/Staff Photographer/Ka Leo o Hawaiʻi HONOLULU — The Hawaiʻi women’s volleyball team (17-3) continued to roll as it earned its 17th win of the season, a three-set victory over Mountain West opponent UNLV on the first night of a two-match weekend home series against the Rebels. Malia Shoji, the niece of legendary Wāhine volleyball coach Dave Shoji, was at the helm for the Rebels in her fourth season as head coach. Despite the sweep — UH’s 11th of the season — the win didn’t come easy for the home team, as an eager UNLV squad entered Friday’s match, looking to topple the only team undefeated in conference play. Sophomore outside hitter, Cha’lei Reid (10) led the Warriors with 31 kills hitting for 0.313 throughout the two game series.
