Round 2 of the battle between two of this season’s heavyweights in men’s collegiate volleyball is sure to pack the same kind of punch as Friday, when No. 3 Hawaii knocked out No. 2 UCLA’s perfect season.

The question is: Will the Rainbow Warriors (7-0) continue their best start since 1996 or will the Bruins (7-1) do what they did 22 years ago, when they ended the Warriors’ season-opening winning streak at 13?

It will depend on which side is able to make the best adjustments and counter adjustments, a process that began with Saturday afternoon’s practices. Because the Stan Sheriff Center was occupied with basketball, Hawaii was in Gym I and UCLA in Gym II prepping for today’s 5 p.m. rematch.

“All and all, we were happy with the result, but we weren’t satisfied,” Warriors junior setter Joe Worsley said of Friday’s 23-25, 25-23, 25-23, 25-19 victory. “There was good stuff to take away from it, but we know we can do better. And we know they (the Bruins) can.

“I think with Micah (UCLA junior setter Ma’a) being from here (Kaneohe and Punahou), this maybe being his last time playing in the arena, he will be even more driven. We’ve got to bring it tomorrow.”

Worsley’s parents, visiting from California, were part of Friday’s season-high crowd of 4,328, and he added to his mother Christine’s birthday celebration by turning in his third career double-double (36 assists, 14 digs) as the Warriors outdug the Bruins 43-24. It was Hawaii’s third straight over UCLA and 10th win in the last 14 meetings dating back to 2013.

It also extended the Warriors’ winning streaks to 26 at home and 24 in nonconference regular season.

“Hawaii did such a good job at playing volleyball,” Bruins coach John Speraw said. “It wasn’t necessarily how they played the game but how they ‘thought’ the game. That was really impressive and we didn’t match that. We didn’t adapt or make the adjustments soon enough. They out-IQ’d us and out-coached us.

“And we all know Joe Worsley is a great volleyball player. He’s grown up with the game, much like Micah. And he’s a true setter, which is why he came (to UH). He has something to prove and I thought he ran a really good offense.”

The 6-foot Worsley was recruited as a libero by most schools, including UCLA. He was very impressive on difficult passes, including connecting with sophomore middle Dalton Sobrig on several quick sets that completely beat the Bruins block.

Solbrig finished with seven kills, one off his career high, with four in Set 2, when Hawaii rallied to tie the match and he served for the final three points of a 25-23 win. The Bruins hit .400 in that set to the Warriors’ .263 and “you don’t lose many when you hit that,” Speraw said.

UCLA was hurt by 23 service errors. The Bruins had 29 in a five-set victory over two-time defending national champion Ohio State on Jan. 20.

Hawaii had 15 errors, six coming in Set 1. It was just the second set the Warriors had dropped in seven matches.

“I think we can serve and pass better,” Solbrig said. “We can do a better job at coming out stronger. They won that first set and I think it’s really important that you take that first set, especially on your home court.

“I thought Joe played unreal. He’s just a guy you have to have on the court all the time in terms of energy. He makes the best decisions in pressure situations.”

Added Wade: “Joe’s really good at connecting in a tight window when the ball’s moving, he’s moving and his hitter is moving. And we’ve said all along that Dalton is going to be the sleeper a lot of nights. You don’t game plan for that guy because you have a lot of other pieces to worry about. But that guy is going to hand it to you if you ignore him.”

To that “other pieces” point, Hawaii got most of its kill production from the outside, with sophomore opposite Rado Parapunov (15) and junior hitters Stijn van Tilburg (13) and Brett Rosenmeier (10) combining for 38 of the Warriors’ 49 kills.
