On May 4, 2019 at 3 pm Pacific Time, USC took on Hawaii in a game of NCAA beach volleyball as both teams have been battling their way through the contender's bracket to try and make it to the finals happening there in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Now it's time to get into the game.
The first game to finish was the 4's. This had Joy Dennis and Maja Kaiser, of USC, take on Hi'ilawe Huddleston and Kylin Loker, of Hawaii. The first set ended at 21-14 with Joy and Maja taking that set. The second set was a little closer, ending at 21-15, with Joy and Maja taking that set as well and putting USC up 1-0 against Hawaii in the overall scoring.
The second game to finish was the 3's. This had Haley Hallgren and Alexandra Poletto, of USC, taking on Morgan Martin and Pani Napoleon, of Hawaii. The first set ended at 21-14 with Haley and Alexandra taking that set. The second set was much closer, ending at 22-20, with Haley and Alexandra winning the second set and putting USC up 2-0 against Hawaii in the overall scoring.
The third game to finish was the 5's. This had Cammie Dorn and Mollie Ebertin, for USC, against Noren Iosia and Sofia Russo, for Hawaii. The first set ended at 21-17 with Cammie and Mollie winning that set for USC. The second set ended at 21-16 with Cammie and Mollie taking that set for USC as well and putting USC up 3-0 against Hawaii.
The game between the 1's and the 2's got suspended but here's how the 1's went. The 1's had Abril Bustamante and Tina Graudina, for USC, taking on Emily Maglio and Amy Ozee, for Hawaii. The first set ended at 24-22 with Abril and Tina winning it for USC. the second set got to 14-13, with Emily and Amy leading for Hawaii before the game was suspended.
It wasn't just the 1's game that was suspended, the 2's game was also suspended. This was between Terese Cannon and Sammy Slater, of USC, against Ari Homayun and Julia Scoles, of Hawaii. The first set ended at 22-20 with Terese and Sammy winning the first set for USC. The second set got to 16-7, with Terese and Sammy ahead before it was suspended. Both the 1's and 2's got suspended because in order to move on at the national championship event a school needs to win 3 of the 5 games they play and since USC had a 3-0 sweep over Hawaii, they didn't let the 1's and 2's finish.
This is 6'1 junior for USC, Joy Dennis, celebrating the 3-0 victory over Hawaii
With USC having a 3-0 sweep over Hawaii, Hawaii got knocked out of the tournament while USC advanced to play against LSU to see who would be playing in the finals. That concludes the game between USC and Hawaii so stay tuned to see if USC can make it to the finals and win another NCAA championship or if UCLA will win it for a second straight year. Until next time, Miller out
