Hawaii men's volleyball 2025 schedule

The Harvard men’s volleyball team wasn’t going to leave Oahu without giving fourth-ranked Hawaii at least one tough test.

That test ended up feeling more like a midterm exam.

The Crimson had three match points to secure one of the biggest upsets in program history only to see Hawaii rally with the final five points to survive a 25-17, 25-27, 25-15, 21-25, 16-14 marathon victory that lasted more than three hours on Friday night.

A SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center crowd of 4,876 overcame tense moments in the final points of the match that saw UH call timeout after its 17th hitting error that gave Harvard match point at 14-11.

Freshman Justin Todd, who started for the first time in his UH career, staved off the first match point with his fourth kill in eight swings.

Freshman Finn Kearney substituted into the match and served four straight tough balls into the Harvard side of the court.
