Rarely can the AYSO philosophy carry over to collegiate athletics, but No. 18 Hawaii enjoyed one of those nights Sunday where everyone played in the 25-20, 25-19, 25-11 sweep of Oregon State.

The question that has hovered even this early in the volleyball season was how to get all 16 of the Rainbow Wahine some playing time. What the Stan Sheriff Center crowd of 4,486 saw was glimpses of the talented "B" side when Hawaii defeated its first Pac-12 team since Arizona in 2013.

"People don’t know how competitive our practices are," said junior opposite Nikki Taylor, finishing with 15 kills and the Chevron Invitational’s most outstanding player award. "Our ‘B’ team is barely a step down and they are winning drills in practices. We feel very confident in our bench and that showed tonight."

All that depth aside, coach Dave Shoji did go with the same lineup as the previous two nights as Hawaii won this event for the ninth time and first time outright since 2012. That included senior hitter Tai Manu-Olevao, who struggled on the court against Wichita State and struggled with her decision to play on a Sunday after sitting out the past two seasons on Sundays for religious reasons.

Against Wichita State Saturday, the senior co-captain hit just above .000 with four service errors and was aced twice. Sunday she steadied out with eight kills, no errors and a team-high .471.

One of the moves that Shoji made was to take Manu-Olevao out of the back-row passing rotation and use freshman hitter McKenna Granato to serve and pass.

"For Tai to come back and have no hitting errors shows a real ability to come back and to focus," Shoji said. "Tai had a really hard decision to make and it weighed heavily on her. She made the decision on her own.

"Taking her out and using McKenna did take pressure off Tai. It’s not something I want to do all the time but McKenna came in and had a solid game back there."

It was her teammates who kept her from dwelling on the negatives of the previous night and "I am nothing without them," she said. "Today was rough for me. Granato came in when I wasn’t doing well and I’m grateful for McKenna.

"It was a team effort and nice to see everyone contribute."

It was definitely a team effort for Hawaii and way too much of one for the Beavers. Oregon State’s problems began early with the Wahine block (5 1/2 of Hawaii’s 11 1/2 came in Set 1) and what OSU coach Terry Liskevych called off nights for his junior setter Dana Backlund and senior libero Darby Reeder.

"We started unraveling in Set 2," said Liskevych, his team picked to finish ninth in the Pac-12. "We have a lot to work on.

"Hawaii played well, they changed their game plan (from the first two nights), especially with Taylor hitting more angle than line. They also won the serving and passing game."

Hawaii also dominated the all-tournament team with half of the choices. Joining Taylor were senior middle Olivia Magill (nine kills, seven blocks) and junior setter Tayler Higgins (33 assists, 11 digs). Also selected were Wichita State junior libero Dani Mostrom and sophomore middle Abbie Lehman; Oregon State sophomore hitter Mary-Kate Marshall and Idaho’sophomore hitter Becca Mau.

Marshall had a team-high 12 kills in the 86-minute match against Hawaii.

"Part of what we did tonight was to reward all the hard work everyone did in camp," Shoji said. "Everybody made plays tonight. They all deserve to play a little more. It’s a matter of finding a way to do it."

Hawaii next hosts the Hawaiian Airlines Classic Friday through Sunday. In the field are Iowa, American and No. 20 UCLA.

Wichita State 3, Idaho 0

Lehman put down 10 kills, hitting .562, and Mostrom 12 digs to finish as the tournament leader with 54 in the 25-16, 25-22, 25-18 sweep. The Shockers (2-1) outblocked the Vandals (0-3) 10-2 over the 74 minutes.

Idaho got nine kills from freshman DeVonne Ryter and 12 digs from senior libero Jenna Ellis. The Vandals did not win a set in the their three losses.
