UH CRUISES IN VOLLEYBALL OPENER

(Nov. 21): The nationally sixth-ranked Rainbow Wahine had absolutely no problem in advancing into the semifinals of the WAC volleyball tournament by pounding on Boise State 25-15, 25-16, 25-17 last night at the Stan Sherriff.

Hawaii should face a stronger challenge at 7:30 tonight against Idaho, which swept Nevada 25-20, 25-21, 25-18.

In yesterday's other quarterfinal games, top-seeded New Mexico State swept Fresno State. The Lady Aggies will next meet San Jose State, which rode a 19-kill performance by Colleen Burke to beat Utah State in five sets.

The final is set for 3 p.m. on Sunday.

While the Rainbow Wahine are bidding for their 10th straight WAC tournament title, the UH football team will trying to move closer to bowl-eligibility when it plays host to Idaho on Saturday night at Aloha Stadium.

Hawaii must win two of its remaining three games – all at home – to qualify for the Hawaii Bowl.

Idaho brings a 2-9 record into the game following last week's 45-10 loss to unbeaten and nationally ninth-ranked Boise State.

A familiar name has made a positive contribution to Idaho's defensive unit. Former Baldwin standout Jojo Dickson is a sophomore linebacker for the Vandals, registering 31 tackles this season.

The UH basketball teams are off this week, hopefully working on improving themselves following dismal starts. The men are 1-2 while the women are winless in three outings.
