Honolulu - Hawaii Pacific University (2-4) dominated the home court against Cal Poly Humboldt (0-4) on the final day of the Hawaii Challenge. The Sharks held the Lumberjacks to no more than 16 points in all but the third set, when Head Coach Jenic Tumaneng experimented with his usual rotation within a controlled environment. 

The Sharks were led offensively by senior outside hitter Peyton McBride with 12 kills, 12 digs, one assist, and two aces. McBride was backed by freshman Maile Salang, who provided 22 assists, eight digs, a kill, and an ace to the Sharks. Other notable offensive performances came from junior middle blocker Ella Schoene, who earned eight kills on 16 attacks, with two blocks and three digs, and senior outside hitter Lindsey Tapp with 12 kills on 27 attacks, six digs, and an assist.

Junior libero Taylor Kaoihana-Lee led the defense of the hardwood with 23 digs, five assists, a kill, and three aces. 

The Sharks will return to the court next week on Thursday, Sept. 11, at 5:00 p.m. against the Panthers of Florida Tech at the Shark Tank for the first day of the Aloha State Showdown.
