Neutral Record: 0-2

Inside the Numbers: No. 8 Hawai'i has already clinched the 2012 Big West Conference championship, marking the sixth time the Rainbow Wahine have topped the Big West standings…Hawai'i is just two wins away from posting a perfect conference mark. UC Santa Barbara was the last team to reach perfection, tallying an 18-0 mark in 2002. Hawai'i was also flawless in its last season in the Big West, registering an 18-0 mark back in 1995…UH outside hitter Emily Hartong was named the Big West Player of the Week on Monday. It was the fourth weekly honor for Hartong which is the most of any Big West player. Hartong averaged 4.62 kills, 3.88 digs and 0.38 service aces per set as the Rainbow Wahine downed Pacific in five sets and swept UC Davis this past week. A sweep over UC Davis on Nov. 17 awarded Hawai'i Head Coach Dave Shoji his 1,100 career win. Six more victories will tie him with UCLA's Andy Banachowski for first in the nation in career wins with a minimum 10 years as a Division I head coach since 1982.
