The No. 2-ranked University of Hawai'i men's volleyball team is set to extend its seven-match winning streak in a two-match series against No. 13 UC San Diego on April 10 and 11, at LionTree Arena. With an impressive record of 23-3 overall and a perfect 6-0 in the Big West, the Rainbow Warriors are in contention for the Big West regular season title, needing two wins to secure at least a share. Historically, UH leads the all-time series against UCSD 66-7, having dominated recent matchups, including sweeping the season series last year. The Rainbow Warriors are also a perfect 9-0 on the road this season and aim to continue that success against the struggling Tritons, who have lost their last four Big West matches.

By the Numbers
  • UH holds a 66-7 all-time series lead over UCSD.
  • Hawai'i's 23 wins this season lead NCAA Division I-II and are tied for the 11th most in program history.
  • UH is 9-0 on the road, tied for the fourth longest road win streak in program history.
  • Hawai'i has a 25-13 all-time record in Big West regular-season road matches.
State of Play

What's Next
