UH's Mason coming home for rehabilitation
Hawaii women's volleyball player Sarah Mason was scheduled to return to Honolulu today to begin rehabilitation for her sprained right ankle.

Mason missed five matches after injuring the same ankle in the season opener at Nebraska. She leads the team in kills, averaging 4.04 per game.
The Rainbow Wahine (19-6, 13-0) put their 104-match Western Athletic Conference winning streak on the line tomorrow at San Jose State (5 p.m., Hawaii time).
