Freshman middle Justin Todd had four kills and was credited with six blocks, including the last one on Hawaii’s third match point in the third set.

Junior middle Kurt Nusterer added four kills and three blocks for Hawaii (6–0), which closed its season-opening six-game homestand undefeated with only four sets lost.

Freshman opposite Kristian Titriyski added eight kills and freshman outside hitter Clay Wieter hit .467 with nine kills.

Mason Rice had a match-high 11 kills to lead Princeton (0-3). UH is 19-0 against teams from the EIVA not named Penn State.
