Hawaii setter Jennings Franciskovic set the ball for middle blocker Hendrik Mol during the third set.

Senior hitter Kupono Fey and sophomore hitter Brett Rosenmeier each put down 16 kills and No. 4 Hawaii extended its school-record home winning streak to 21 when turning back No. 14 Cal State Northridge in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation volleyball match 25-19, 25-17, 19-25, 25-17 tonight at the Stan Sheriff Center.

The Rainbow Warriors (22-4, 12-4 MPSF) finished 17-0 at home, their first perfect home season since going 8-0 in 1988 in Klum Gym.

Junior opposite Arvis Green led the Matadors (12-14, 5-12) with 15 kills. Sophomore hitter Dimitar Kalchev added 12 kills in CSUN’s eighth straight loss.

Hawaii outblocked CSUN 12-10 with senior setter Jennings Franciskovic in on five, including three solo.

The Warriors finish out the regular season at UCLA on April 7 and 8. Hawaii likely will host an MPSF quarterfinal match on April 15 but has not clinched yet.
