Rainbow Wahine get payback, sweep UC Santa Barbara in Big West match

Playing like it had something to prove, the Hawaii women’s volleyball team put an emphatic end to a seven-set losing streak to UC Santa Barbara. Caylen Alexander needed only 36 swings to put down a match-high 19 kills and Hawaii hit .364 in a 25-14, 25-21, 25-17 sweep of the Gauchos on Friday night before a SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center crowd of 4,315.
