Hawaii’s Stella Adeyemi was looking for a kill against Oregon State on Sept. 13.

Tali Hakas set a career high with 19 digs and added four aces, four blocks and 10 kills while hitting .435 to lead Hawaii to a 25-15, 25-23, 25-21 sweep of Long Beach State tonight.

A SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center crowd of 5,778 watched Hawaii (17-8, 11-4) keep pace with UC Davis and Cal Poly at the top of the Big West standings with three matches left in the regular season.

Caylen Alexander had a match-high 12 kills but hit a season-low .091 with nine errors.

It was no problem for the Rainbow Wahine, who got production from Stella Adeyemi (11 kills, .269) and middle Jacyn Bamis (seven kills, .267).

Senior setter Kate Lang had a double-double with 34 assists and 10 digs and Tayli Ikenaga, UH’s other senior, finished with 18 digs.

Hawaii outblocked LBSU 8-5 and outdug the Beach 64-45.

UH will play its final home match of the regular season on Saturday night against UC San Diego.
