Patrick Gasman, Hawaii’s big man in the middle, continues to come up huge.

The 6-foot-10 junior blocker, who leads the country in stuffs, was in on three in the opening minutes of Friday’s Big West men’s volleyball match against UC San Diego.

Gasman was just getting started. He finished with eight, including three solo, as the top-ranked Rainbow Warriors extended their NCAA record consecutive sets-won streak to 66 with a 25-15, 25-22, 25-17 sweep of the Tritons in La Jolla, Calif.

It was the seventh straight win in RIMAC Arena for Hawaii (22-0, 5-0) and the 12th consecutive victory over UCSD (7-14, 0-5). The Warriors, leading the nation in blocks (2.80), had a season-high 12 to just one by the Tritons.

The teams meet again today (4 p.m. Hawaii) to conclude the undefeated Warriors’ long — six matches in 10 days — and thus far successful road trip.

Unlike Tuesday’s slightly ragged effort up the freeway at Concordia-Irvine, Hawaii coach Charlie Wade said he liked what he saw Friday.

“I thought we started better, were more engaged, more energetic, more prepared,” he said in a telephone call. “At this point, we just want to play well. It’s the end of a long road trip and we want to make sure we finish it with effort and attitude.”

Hawaii continued to get an outstanding effort from senior hitter Stijn van Tilburg, who finished with a match-high 13 kills with no errors on 20 swings. The Dutch national has had a combined five hitting errors in the five road matches, three of those coming in last Friday’s sweep of Princeton at the Brigham Young Invite.

“He had another nice night,” Wade said.

So did Gasman, at both ends of the court. He had no hitting errors (4-0-4) and no errors in nine serves, with his ace jump-starting a 4-0 closing run in Set 4.

One of his four kills came during that serving stint, a rare back-row attack that gave the Warriors set point at 24-15.

“What I liked about his night was he kept his serve in-bounds,” Wade said. “After the timeout (UCSD called it at 22-15), I told Joe (senior setter Worsley) if we dig it, set him the ‘bic’ (back-row attack). That will encourage Patrick to keep serving in-bounds.

“He’s a big kid and he’s been doing (the blocking) every night.”

Gasman averages 1.577 blocks a set. He basically doubled that early in Set 1 when helping put Hawaii up 5-1.

The Tritons hung tough in Set 2, aided by several questionable calls. Junior opposite Rado Parapunov had one attack ruled long and a service foot fault, both of which Wade said were incorrect calls.

UCSD led for its second and final time in Set 2 at 14-13. Hawaii used a kill by van Tilburg, an ace from reserve junior hitter James Anastassiades and a hitting error by Triton junior hitter Wyatt Harrison to pull away for good at 16-14.

At 23-22, the Warriors finished it out on a kill by van Tilburg and a stuff of Harrison by Gasman and Parapunov.

Hawaii led 13-11 in Set 3 then took control, outscoring UCSD 10-2. Gasman’s last kill gave the Warriors match point a 24-16; it ended after 83 minutes on a Triton service error.

Logan Clark led the Tritons with nine kills, hitting .727. UCSD hit just .146 as a team.

Parapunov finished 11 kills and five blocks. The Warriors hit .468 on the night, just below their nation-best .481.
