The semi-finals for the 2023 NCAA<\/abbr> Men\u2019s Volleyball National Championship will be on May 4.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> men\u2019s volleyball team has its sights set on a third straight national title as they head to the 2023 NCAA<\/abbr> Men\u2019s Volleyball National Championship in Fairfax, Virginia. There will be a strong contingent of fans on hand to cheer on the Rainbow Warriors.<\/p>\n

The UH<\/abbr> Office of Alumni Relations is hosting a series of events for UH<\/abbr> alumni and supporters in a partnership with the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Tourism Authority. Alumni are invited to send the team off with aloha at the Fairfax Marriott before UH<\/abbr>\u2019s semi-final match Thursday, May 4 (7:30 p.m. EDT<\/abbr>, 1:30 p.m. Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> time) at the George Mason University EagleBank Arena. General Admission tickets for the game can be purchased online.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Friday, May 5, there will be a Virginia UH<\/abbr> Alumni Meet Up at P.J.<\/abbr> Skidoos, a popular restaurant\/bar in Fairfax. Although the event is sold out, interested alumni and friends can join a waitlist for the meet up on Eventbrite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Assuming UH<\/abbr> advances to the finals, there will be a second send-off for the \u2018Bows at the Fairfax Marriott before they leave for the championship match on May 6 (5 p.m. EDT<\/abbr>, 11 a.m. Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> time).<\/p>\n

“This is a great opportunity to support the Rainbow Warriors as they continue this amazing history-making run that all UH<\/abbr> graduates and the entire state of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> can take pride in,” said UH<\/abbr> President David Lassner who will be attending the events and matches. “It is also a great opportunity for UH<\/abbr> alumni, who live on the continent, especially the east coast, to get together and celebrate their university.”<\/p>\n

“These events are perfect when it comes to bringing the UH<\/abbr> community together, no matter where they live in the nation,” added UH<\/abbr> Alumni Association Treasurer Norman Nakasone. “It is an excellent way to re-connect, enjoy each other\u2019s company and camaraderie and strengthen UH<\/abbr> pride.”<\/p>\n
