BYUH VOLLEYBALL OPENS TOURNEY

BYUH has won 10 national titles, eight in the NAIA and two in the NCAA. The Coyotes were 21-1 when winning the California Collegiate Athletic Association for the fourth straight year.
Thursday’s winners advance to Friday’s semifinals. Saturday’s champion advances to the NCAA Elite 8, Dec. 2-4, in Louisville.
PELAYO SHATTERS HPU DIG MARK
Hawaii Pacific’s Kyra Pelayo had the program’s single-season dig record going into Saturday’s season-ending match against Hawaii-Hilo with 556, five more than senior teammate Tricia Yoshimura had in 2008.
Make that margin 47. Pelayo had 42 digs in the Sea Warriors’ upset of Hawaii-Hilo on Saturday to finish the year at 598.
POW AWARD TO FAKA’OSI
BYU-Hawaii junior outside hitter Losaline Faka’osi earned the conference’s final player of the week honor for the season.
Faka’osi led the Seasiders to a share of the PacWest title and — by virtue of the tiebreaker over Hawaii-Hilo — an automatic berth in the NCAA D-II National Championship Tournament that starts Thursday.
In wins over Chaminade and Hawaii-Hilo, she had 27 kills, two aces, one solo block and five block assists.
She also had 45 digs in the seven sets.
HONOR ROLL
» Kelly Balanay, HPU: The senior hitter had 14 kills and eight blocks in the 3-1 win over Hawaii-Hilo, her final match for the Sea Warriors.
» Tara Huckvale, BYUH: The junior middle had 13 kills, 12 blocks and two aces as the Seasiders won twice en route to the conference’s automatic berth in the NCAA D-II tournament.
» Hillary Hurley, UHH: The junior had 49 kills, an ace and seven blocks as the Vulcans finished 1-2 on the road last week, defeating Chaminade 3-0 but losing 3-1 at BYU-Hawaii and at HPU.
