There was no mojo.

There was not much of anything.

For a second straight night, No. 3 Hawaii struggled to put its game together.

The one that apparently didn’t make the trip from Honolulu. The one that had the Rainbow Warriors rolling through the first two months of this volleyball season when wracking up 13 victories in 15 matches en route to a No. 2 ranking.

The past two nights in Cal State Northridge’s Matadome has been a double dose of reality for Hawaii, which has now lost three matches in seven days. Friday night was even uglier than Thursday as the Matadors (11-8, 2-2 Big West) needed just 83 minutes to take apart the Warriors, 25-22, 25-17, 25-22.

“We didn’t play very well again and they did,” said UH coach Charlie Wade. “We’re a little off right now. It’s the nature of sports. Just ask Virginia (in basketball).”

Hawaii junior hitter Stijn van Tilburg had a team-high 12 kills but again didn’t get much help. The Warriors were able to run their middles more effectively than on Thursday but not often enough with junior Dalton Solbrig and sophomore Patrick Gasman putting down a combined nine kills with one error on 14 swings.

Senior opposite Arvis Greene Jr. led CSUN with 14 kills and junior hitter Dimitar Kalchev had eight kills and a career-high six aces, including three straight early in Set 3. CSUN last swept consecutive matches against the Warriors in The Matadome in 1991 and last claimed a season home series from Hawaii in 2012.

The Matadors won the block battle 9-6 and finished with an 8-2 edge in aces when winning their fourth straight, all in straight sets.

“Dimitar served so well for us tonight,” CSUN head coach Jeff Campbell said in a press release. “The stats don’t tell the entire story, he created overpasses, took them out of system and caused them problems.

“Hawaii is a really good team and for us to beat them the way we did, it shows that we’ve turned the corner.”

And Hawaii was in a corner all night. One knows things aren’t going well when the All-American libero is moved to outside hitter in a desperation move to change something — anything. That didn’t work in Set 3 after senior Tui Tuileta switched positions, replaced at libero by freshman Gage Worsley, and CSUN teed off from the service line with four aces when opening the set up 7-0.

It quickly became 10-1 and Hawaii was out of timeouts. To their credit, the Warriors didn’t fold, chipping away to close to 11-5 and 22-17, the latter a 3-0 run that had two kills by junior setter Gage Worsley and an ace by Gasman.

Hawaii’s serving woes continued with the Warriors committing 11 errors, the last by Gasman that put the Matadors ahead at 23-17 in Set 3. CSUN finished it out with Kalchev’s last ace and a hitting error by Tuileta.

For a fourth consecutive match, Hawaii sophomore opposite Rado Parapunov struggled. He has not hit above .143 in those matches, playing only in the first set on Friday night with three kills and two errors on seven attempts.

The Warriors rarely found a rhythm or a lead. Hawaii was up 7-4 in Set 1 only to have CSUN take the lead for good with a 5-0 run.
