Seasiders leap from
unranked to Top 10

---

The Brigham Young-Hawaii volleyball team jumped from unranked to No. 7 in the AVCA Coaches poll yesterday.

The Seasiders were 3-0 at Florida last week, sweeping Florida Tech, Mercy and defending national champion and preseason No. 1 Barry.

Barry dropped to sixth and West Texas A&M jumped to the top spot from third.

The Seasiders celebrated their ranking by beating up on St. Martin's 30-8, 30-14, 30-20 last night.

BYUH coach Wilfred Navalta found playing time for each player on his roster, getting 14 kills from Chun Yi Lin and nine from Ashley Moeai. The Seasiders served six aces during the match.

Outside hitter Yu Chuan Weng led the Seasiders with 17 kills just hours after being named the AVCA Player of the Week for leading the Seasiders to the unbeaten record. Weng averaged 5.89 kills, 3.33 digs and hit .436.

She was also selected the Barry Invitational Tournament MVP and the Pacific West Player of the Week.

Hawaii Pacific remained 18th and Hawaii-Hilo received 26 points but were shut out of the Top 25.

The Seasiders next travel to Bellingham, Wash., to play in the Western Washington Invitational beginning Friday. The Seasiders will play Seattle Pacific at noon Hawaii time.
