Had one more year of eligibility, so he transferred to Pepperdine.

but we’ll get a first glimpse on how the ncaa selection could possibly play out.

(and b/c i know cindy will also say it) … yes, there is still plenty of season left … 😉

both teams started off shaky last night. i think both are good serving and serve-receive teams. what will hurt loyola is not having a consistent 3rd pin hitter. jaeschke was money for them last night, but caldwell started to struggle (and was even pulled in the middle of the 4th set).

lewis got a great performance out of petty last night. he’s had great nights during the season, but he’s been probably overshadowed a little by powell and fitterer on offense. loyola might’ve focused their defense more on powell/fitterer, leaving petty to go off for 21 kills.

ohana mentioned the blocking wasn’t really there last night. lewis was missing walsh, their best blocker last night. loyola’s best blocker is olson, but he sat out injured for a little while, and this was his first game back.

but it’s hard to compare these 2 teams to the mpsf just from one match, plus these 2 are clearly the class of the conference and have been steamrolling most of the other teams they’ve faced in-conference. still though, both teams have weapons that would match up well with any of the top mpsf teams.

They were in the final four with UH in 96. They won the NCAA title the year after the Warriors. Both programs later vacated for NCAA infractions
Thought then-Lewis coach Deuser a nice guy.. Warrior Jorge Alifonso ended up transferring from UH to play at Lewis his last two seasons. Deuser was big on recruiting Puerto Rican players.
Flyers were out here for the Outrigger in 99 and 04, opened the season with UH with two matches here in 2001, 03 and 05, came out late in 2000 and 07 for 2.
Hawaii holds a 13-1 lead in the series.
