Volleyball Warriors Win A Pair Of Exhibition Matches Against British Columbia


Recap Date: 10/07/05

The University of Hawai`i men's volleyball squad took a pair of exhibition matches today against the University of British Columbia, winning 3-1 in the first match in the morning and completing the sweep with a five-set victory tonight.

"Everybody played pretty well today," Head Coach Mike Wilton said, "considering we had only eight practices under out belt and it's October 7th."
No individual stats were kept in the first match played at St. George High School, as UH won the first match in four and then finished off the nightcap with a 25-23, 17-25, 25-12, 29-31, 15-7 win.

"We mixed up our squad today as everybody played," Wilton said. "Brian (Beckwith) did the setting in the first match, while Sean Carney set the second match."

It was a Homecoming of sorts for senior outside hitter Matt Carere, who hails from Victoria, B.C., Canada. Coach Wilton said that Carere had a legion of fans come out to the matches to cheer on the Warriors.

UH drives 3 1/2 hours tomorrow to Okanagan University in Kelowna to battle the University of British Columbia again at both 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Warriors Sweep Pair From British Columbia Today


Recap Date: 10/08/05

The University of Hawai`i Warrior volleyball team completed a four-match sweep against the University of British Columbia today by taking a pair of matches played at Oganaga University in Kelowna, B.C., Canada.

The Warriors swept a 3-game scrimmage in an early after match and then went four games in the feature match of the night, winning 21-25, 25-19, 25-20, 25-23.
"British Columbia is very good team, and I'm proud of how we played in the four matches," Head Coach Mike Wilton said. "We found out a little about ourselves in the two days and now have a laundry list of things to work on when we return home."

Outside hitter Jose Delgado led the way slamming down 21 kills in 39 attempts for the Warriors, while middle hitter Dio Dante posted 12 kills on 16 attempts without an error.

Setter Brian Beckwith was named the Most Valuable Player of the match tonight as he orchestrated the UH hitting attack.

"Brian set a really nice match for us tonight," Wilton said. "It was probably the best match he has had for us yet."

The Warriors play UC Santa Barbara in a pair of exhibition matches later this month. The Gauchos are scheduled to play UH at the Stan Sheriff Center on Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. Then the teams head to the North Shore the next night for a 7 p.m. contest at Kahuku High School.

I hope they get to see the sites and wineries while in Kelowna. That is one beautiful town and region.
