Hawaii Volleyball Defeats UC San Diego in Four Sets

The fourth-ranked Hawaii men's volleyball team maintained its undefeated Big West record by defeating No. 11 UC San Diego in a heated match, winning 27-25, 25-23, 17-25, 25-18, largely due to strong performances by Louis Sakanoko and Adrien Roure. Despite a tense moment in the fourth set, Hawaii managed to keep its composure and win with key plays by freshman Kristian Titriyski. Meanwhile, the top-ranked Long Beach State bounced back from its first loss of the season to sweep fifth-ranked UC Irvine, led by standout performances from Alex Kandev and Moni Nikolov. Long Beach's impressive comeback followed a previous day's defeat by UC Irvine, who had earlier ended Long Beach's unbeaten streak with a 3-0 win. Both teams will continue to face off in the competitive Big West Conference as the season progresses, with Hawaii remaining the only undefeated team in the conference.
