Not far from where surfers were "hanging 10" at the famed Steamer Lane break, the No. 2 Hawaii sand volleyball team was hanging 10 wins on its record. The Rainbow Wahine (10-1) swept all three matches Saturday at the main beach courts to win the duals portion of the Santa Cruz (Calif.) Collegiate Challenge.

Hawaii dropped just two sets in 5-0 wins over Cal State Bakersfield (9-4) and co-hosts USF (5-4) and Santa Clara (5-2). Mikayla Tucker and Ka‘iwi Schucht were extended to three sets at No. 4 against the Roadrunners before closing it out in Set 3 15-9. No. 5 London Chow and Hannah Zalopany also went to three against the Broncos, picking up the Set 3 win 15-10.

"I thought we played really well today, executed well," coach Jeff Hall said. "The weather was great, the sand is comparable to what we have at Queen’s (Beach).

"We were able to have a sixth pair play in the first two matches. Those were exhibitions, but we won those as well. It was a nice opportunity to get a lot of our players time on the courts."

Hawaii concludes its road trip with Sunday’s pairs portion of the event. The No. 1 and 2 pairs from all six schools will compete in the gold bracket, Nos. 3 and 4 in the silver bracket and Nos. 5 and 6 in the bronze.

"Our goal is to have all six of our pairs playing in the three final matches," Hall said.
