The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> men\u2019s volleyball team fell in the NCAA<\/abbr> Championship match in four sets against Long Beach State University (LBSU<\/abbr>) on Saturday night, in front of a sold-out crowd at the Walter Pyramid. LBSU<\/abbr> successfully defended its national title on its home court, winning 3–1.<\/p>\n

The loss ended a historic season for the Rainbow Warriors (28–3). They set program records for most wins, longest win streak, and longest set win streak, which obliterated an NCAA<\/abbr> record.

It was the fourth time in 23 days that Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> has squared off with LBSU<\/abbr>, who won three of the four matches. The match-up featured the only teams to ascend to the No.<\/abbr> 1 spot in the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll this year. UH<\/abbr> Mānoa\u2019s Colton Cowell<\/strong>, Rado Parapunov<\/strong> and Joe Worsley<\/strong> were all named to the all-tournament team.<\/p>\n
