Jamie Houston led the Rainbow Wahine, posting 24 kill and 12 digs. Dani Mafua had 33 assists, 10 digs and two blocks in her debut with UH while Caroline Blood had four kills and four blocks. Jayme Lee also added 11 digs for Hawai`i.
Arizona came out firing, holding a 7-3 lead early in game one. The two teams traded small runs all the way through, but Hawai`i was never able to get the deficit smaller than two points, falling 30-26.
Game two was a battle that gave the crowd their money's worth. UH opened with a 4-0 lead on an ace by Kari Gregory, and continued to lead for the first half of the game. But after the Rainbow Wahine's advantage got to 15-9, Arizona made their comeback. The Wildcats used a 6-1 run to take their first lead of the game at 16-15. Hawai`i got the lead back and was up 24-20 before another UA run, this time of 9-2, gave the Wildcats game point at 29-26. But the Rainbow Wahine wouldn't go away, scoring the next three pints to tie it up at 29. In all, UH fought off seven game points before a kill by Houston put the Rainbow Wahine at game point at 35-34. Arizona then scored on a kill by Randy Goodenough to tie it, then getting their eighth game point on a service ace that trickled off the net. Hawai`i scored the next two to take another game point at 37-36. But UA would scored the next three points, including another ace on a let serve, taking the exciting game 39-37.
In game three, Arizona used a big 11-4 run early to take a 14-8 edge. An ace by Gregory capped a 6-1 run to get the Rainbow Wahine within a point at 15-14, but the Wildcats proved to have too much. Whitney Dosty, who led UA with 17 kills on the night, put away the final kill to give Arizona the 30-24 game three victory.
Hawai`i will continue to train for the rest of the spring before opening their 2007 fall campaign in late August.
