An idle Hawaii did not idle in the national poll. The Rainbow Warriors come off a bye week by moving up one spot in today’s AVCA Division I-II Men’s Volleyball Top 15.

Hawaii returned to No. 8, a spot it held two weeks ago. The Warriors (12-9, 7-9 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) return to the Stan Sheriff Center court when hosting No. 14 UC Irvine (7-14, 5-11 MPSF) in matches Friday and Saturday.

For the first time this season, a non-MPSF team holds the top spot. Ohio State (18-3, 9-1 MIVA) jumped three places to No. 1, courtesy of losses by both previous Nos. 1 (BYU) and 2 (Long Beach State).

UCLA (19-3, 13-3 MPSF) also was a beneficiary of the losses, the Bruins moving to No. 2. BYU (17-3, 13-3 MPSF), upset at home by Pepperdine, fell two spots to No. 3 and Long Beach State (19-4, 13-3 MPSF) two spots to No. 4 after a road loss to No. 11 Cal State Northridge (13-10, 6-10 MPSF).

Stanford (15-3, 13-3 MPSF) remained at No. 5, Pepperdine (11-7, 10-7 MPSF) leapfrogged two spots to No. 6 and UC Santa Barbara (14-8, 9-7 MPSF ) stayed at No. 7. Ball State (17-5, 9-1 MIVA) moved a spot to No. 9 while Penn State (12-6, 7-1 EIVA), losing twice last week, fell four spots to No. 10.

In today’s AVCA Collegiate Beach rankings, there was no change in the top 10 with Hawaii (4-5) holding at No. 5. Pepperdine (9-0) remained at No. 1, Florida State (12-0) No. 2 and USC (9-2), which defeated the Rainbow Wahine twice last week, at No. 3. UCLA (4-3) stayed at No. 4. Rounding out the Top 10 were Long Beach State (2-5), Arizona (5-1), Georgia State (10-2), Stetson (13-1 and Florida International (5-2).

Hawaii next plays at the Stetson Invitational in Deland, Fla. The Wahine will face Tulane Thursday, No. 9 Stetson and Florida Atlantic Friday, and No. 2 Florida State and No. 10 Florida International Saturday.
