Roundup: No. 7 Hawaii sweeps South Dakota

No. 7 Hawaii 3, South Dakota 0

WICHITA, Kan. -- Tai Manu-Olevao unleashed a career-high 13 kills and the No. 7 Hawaii swept South Dakota in the opening match of the Shocker Volleyball Classic at the Charles Koch Arena. Set scores were 25-19, 25-21, 25-21.

Emily Hartong had 13 kills and 13 digs for her fifth double-double of the season and Kalei Adolpho added six kills and four blocks.

Kendall Kritenbrink led the Coyotes who fell to 9-4 on the season. She drilled a match-high 14 kills to go along with 11 digs.

The 'Bows (9-1) never trailed en route to the set one win. A Kritenbrink kill gave the set its fifth tie but it would be Hawaii who would take control. A pair of kills by Manu-Olevao highlighted a 5-1 run to give the 'Bows a 14-10 lead, but the Coyotes would not go away. A Tori Kroll (6 kills) kill cut the Rainbow lead to one point and block assists by Kritenbrink and Melissa Firtko (4 kills, 4 blks) evened the set at 17-17. Down the stretch though it would be all UH, as kills by Adolpho, Manu-Olevao, and Hartong helped seal the six-point win.
