A SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center crowd of 5,044 saw the Rainbow Wahine (15-7, 9-3 Big West) close out an impressive weekend to move into a first-place tie with UC Davis for the league lead.

The Aggies went 0-2 over the weekend while Hawaii went 2-0, dropping only one set.

Tali Hakas added six kills and tied Tayli Ikenaga with a match-high 13 digs.

UH hits the road next week for matches Thursday at UC Riverside and Saturday at UC Davis, which beat Hawaii in four sets earlier this season.
