The University of Hawaii men’s volleyball team has won so many consecutive matches it’s like when Dirty Harry lost count of his bullets.

“Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself.”

The streak is up to 13.

Do you feel lucky?

You’d better if you want to come out of the Stan Sheriff Center with a win against coach Charlie Wade’s team. And I’m talking about a set, much less a match. And you need more than just luck.

The Warriors have been doing so much sweeping they’re putting the arena custodians out of business. They’ve won 26 sets in a row, which means the last eight matches have all been shutouts.

On Fridays, you can watch Hawaii 3-0 and maybe even get home in time to catch the end of “Hawaii Five-0.”

The only people unhappier than the UH opponents are the concessionaires, since short and sweep is bad for beer sales. But maybe not in the long run — if the Warriors keep winning, perhaps larger crowds will come for the last four home matches.

The UH home winning streak is now at 17 matches after last week’s double dumping of USC. Wins against Stanford this Friday and Saturday would tie the school record of 19 that started in 2015 and ended in 2016.

The last time Hawaii lost at home was on the same date Bob Coolen won his 1,000th game as a softball coach … a year prior, March 4, 2016.

The last time they lost, period, was Barack Obama’s last and Donald Trump’s first day as president, Jan. 20, 2017.

Wade had to think pretty hard to remember when the Warriors had even dropped a set most recently. But he did recall the details, and it was what they like to call a teachable moment.

“OK, let’s see,” Wade said, as he scrolled through the online results. “There it is, second night, second set, UC Santa Barbara. We lost 25-23, a deuce game, and at the end of that set three of our most experienced players went back and missed serves. If you put those in and make serves, you have a chance. We’ve been in lots of deuce sets since then, and the difference has been at the end of those sets there’s a kind of a calm confidence, to do what is required to do at the end. Our guys learned we need to go back there and serve with clarity and confidence.”

Of course, UH’s streak is about a lot more than serving. The Warriors lead the nation in blocking, with Patrick Gasman (1.07) and Hendrik Mol (0.96) leading the way to 2.70 knockdowns-per-set.

You know the crazy thing about the Warriors’ winning ways? When it comes down to it, they really don’t mean that much … yet. They’re 18-2 overall and ranked fourth in the nation. But at 8-2 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, Hawaii is behind Long Beach State and Brigham Young in the league standings.

“Third, and we could finish eighth or ninth,” Wade said. “I sure hope not, but you gotta go play ’em. Yeah, we’re good, but at the end of the day we haven’t accomplished much. But where we’re at is better than .500 and trying to battle to the top.”

Two years ago Hawaii was 23-3 and looking like a national championship contender, before losing four of its final five matches.

Wade said he doesn’t expect a late season fade from this group.

“We’ve had other years where we’ve had significant wins and been in position, but at the end of the year we’re not nearly as good as the beginning,” Wade said. “The correlation was that we lost significant contributions from guys that just weren’t that into the weight room. At the end of the year, the grind of the MPSF wore them out. This group bought into the offseason conditioning, and you can see it paying off. Our guys look different than the other teams.”

Also, Wade isn’t the only one who noticed this roster of local and worldwide talent genuinely enjoy each other as people.

“The team’s chemistry is a special one and they’re having a special season,” athletic director David Matlin said. “Charlie and his staff are doing a great job. The student-athletes are doing a great job, as students and athletes.”

They even do their part to keep the electric bill low.

The Warriors have brought the juice to the Sheriff Center all season — but it’s lights out early, every time.
