UH volleyballers drop in poll

Two losses last week translated into a drop of two spots in the poll for the Hawaii men's volleyball team.

The Warriors (6-5, 4-4 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) fell to No. 8 in the AVCA Division I-II Coaches Top 15 yesterday. Last week, Hawaii was tied for sixth with Long Beach State.

Cal State Northridge (9-2) remained at No. 1, with 11 first-place votes, followed by USC (7-3), with three first-place votes. UCLA (6-5), which defeated Hawaii twice last week, moved up a spot to No. 3. The Bruins received the remaining two first-place votes.

BYU (7-4) is No. 4, followed by Stanford (5-3), Long Beach State (5-4) and Pepperdine (4-4).
