The University of Hawaii at Hilo beat the Academy of Art University 3-0 in a Pacific West Conference match in the UHH Gymnasium.

Set scores were 25-22, 25-11, 25-22.

UH Hilo is now 21-1 overall and 11-1 in the PacWest while AAU is 16-10 overall and 4-6 in the PacWest.

“I thought we played well,” UHH volleyball coach Bruce Atkinson said. “I thought that defensively we did a great job at keeping the balls off the floor. I thought there were several situations where scrappiness prevailed and in the situations where we were able to stay in system, I thought our offense swung away and ran very effectively.”

Josimara Pinheiro had 16 kills with an attack percentage of .310 and 13 digs. Leilani Ramsey added 10 kills.
