Punahou collected all nine first-place votes to remain No. 1 in the Star-Advertiser Girls Volleyball Top 10 this week.

The Buffanblu defeated then-No. 3 ‘Iolani in four sets, then swept University and No. 7 Hawaii Baptist last week. Punahou (20-1, 6-0 ILH) has been at the top spot all season.

Kamehameha remained at No. 2 after sweeping ‘Iolani and Le Jardin on the heels of a five-set loss to Punahou on Sept. 8.

Kamehameha-Hawaii moved up a notch to No. 3 after a sweep of Kealakehe.

‘Iolani dropped to No. 4 following losses to Punahou and Kamehameha. The Raiders closed the week with a sweep of Mid-Pacific. Ahead for ‘Iolani: Maryknoll, University and Punahou.

Fifth-ranked Moanalua begins its OIA regular season with matches against Roosevelt on Tuesday and Kaiser on Thursday.
