Second verse, roughly same as the first.

Matt Vanzant had 14 kills and four digs as the University of Hawai'i men's volleyball team completed a two-match sweep of Lewis, 30-26, 30-22, 30-28, last night at Stan Sheriff Center.

Senior setter Brian Beckwith contributed team highs of 43 assists and eight digs for the Warriors (7-13).

Sophomore outside hitter Drew Pickering led the Flyers (14-9) with 10 kills, but hit a dismal .111. Sophomore middle blocker Billy Sahagian added nine kills and four block assists.

"Maybe it's more of a challenge to get really pumped for a second night, but I thought we took care of business tonight," said UH head coach Mike Wilton. "At times we did some decent blocking and we played pretty steadily I thought."

And with his team still six games under .500, unheard of in the Wilton era, taking care of business is the team's one and only priority.

Two convincing wins over Lewis should help reinforce what Wilton calls the "habit of winning."

"We've already been through the tumultuous times this season, going long periods of time without victories, so they know what's going on," Wilton said. "I don't need to give any pep talks about that stuff."

Lewis jumped to a brief, early lead in the first game and stayed competitive as Hawai'i's hitters warmed.

Trailing 24-17, the Flyers went on a 5-0 run capped by Jordan Vidovic's kill off the block on the right side.

Hawai'i rebuilt its lead with a cross-court kill by Vanzant, a block by Dio Dante, an ace by Lauri Hakala (one of his team-high eight), and an impressive block by Beckwith on Pickering that gave Hawai'i a 28-23 advantage.

The game ended on a long serve by David Kelnhofer.

Hawai'i dominated the second game. While Vanzant and Hakala combined for 12 kills, it was the Warrior defense, which racked up 10 blocks and 13 digs, that seemed to most rattle the Flyers.

Dante said he knew Lewis could be easily rattled. And he was happy to oblige them.

"They did much better than they did (Friday) night, but they looked a little nervous and out of their element," Dante said. "Once we were in our system, they kind of crumbled."

The Flyers played their best in the third game, but the result was the same.

"Tonight was fun," Beckwith said. "It was a good opportunity for us to play better, especially before a couple of road trips. We're using this time to hone our skills and get better for the latter part of our MPSF season."
