In what looked like a short night for the Cardinals in the first game, Hawaii came back and won three straight in a three sets to one victory 17-25, 25-23, 25-15, 25-17 tonight in the championship match of the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational.
Jane Croson was hot with with 21 kills, 11 digs and 2 blocks. Emily Hartong was consistent again with 17 kills, 8 digs and an ace.
Jordan Burgess led the Cardinals with 10 kills, 11 digs and 4 blocks.
Hawaii out-killed Stanford 61-50 and out-dugged them 55-48.
The atmosphere was awesome as usual when the Rainbow Wahine play a marquee team like Stanford. They played a big part in Hawaii's victory getting loud and causing mental errors to Stanford's servers. The official stats didn't come out yet but there were at least 7,500 fans watching a classic Wahine volleyball match.
Up next for the Wahine isn't getting any easier with the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball tournament next Friday featuring top teams like San Francisco, Baylor and 17th ranked Cal.
