Even if UH-Hilo is perfect the rest of the season, coach Tino Reyes says that might not be good enough for his volleyball team to remain in contention for the Pacific West Conference title after what transpired Monday night – the Vulcans were far from perfect against Fresno Pacific.
Winners of five of six and with renewed postseason hopes, UH-Hilo started off a Northern California road trip by displaying some of their former inconsistencies. The Vulcans lost the serve-and-pass battle, hit an anemic .091 and were defeated 25-23, 25-27, 25-22, 25-15, falling three games behind first-place Dixie State in the loss column.
