The turnout for UH-Hilo volleyball wasn’t as impressive as a night earlier, but as fans headed to the exits Saturday they were greeted by the Vulcans at the door.
For the victors, aloha meant thank you for coming, and those heading out to continue their weekend on a muggy afternoon would have done well to say the same to Lucee Fitzgerald, Randi Hunter and Kiley Davis.
You could say something clicked, but it’d perhaps be more accurate to say things finally fell into place. Sparked by three of their junior transfers, the Vulcans grabbed the momentum late in the second set and rode it to a 17-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-23 victory against Point Loma at their gym, the first quality Pacific West Conference victory of the Gene Krieger era.
