Hawaii got off to a 5-2 start in the first set and steadily pulled away, allowing the Trojans only 4 more points after the Rainbows held an 11-8 lead (Hawaii hit .500 in the set). USC had a 10-9 lead in the second set before Hawaii scored 5 of the next 6 points and then the Warriors moved out to a 22-16 lead before Troy pulled within 23-22 but got no closer. Hawaii used a 3-0 run to build a 9-6 edge in the third set and the Warriors continued to extend their margin, including scoring 7 consecutive points to go up 23-12, while hitting .500 in the set.
