HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i women's volleyball team continues its tradition of bringing in top-notch competition, hosting national-power Texas in a spring exhibition match on Thursday, March 19 at 7:00 p.m. in the Stan Sheriff Center. The Longhorns, NCAA champions in 2012, were a national semifinalist last season.
 
Tickets will go on sale Friday, Jan. 23, and fans can purchase tickets online (HawaiiAthletics.com), visit the Stan Sheriff Center box office (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.)  or call (808) 944-2697 during the same hours.
 
All seats for the match will be general admission with the exception of reserved courtside seating. Prices are $15 for adults, $8 for senior citizens (65+), $5 for students ages 4-high school and UH-Manoa students receive admission with a valid UHM ID. Courtside seats (available through 'Ahahui Koa Anuenue) will be $25 and can be purchased by calling 956-6500.
 
"We are happy to host a national power like Texas," Dave Shoji, UH head coach, said. "It will give us a good gauge as to where we stand going into the 2015 season. Texas has been in the Final Four six out of the past seven years and is coming off another great year. As usual, they will be loaded with talent.
 
Hawai'i and Texas will play for the first time since the 'Bows upended the defending champion and top-ranked Longhorns at the Stan Sheriff Center in the opener of the 2013 season. Texas won the Big 12 title last season before falling to BYU in the NCAA semifinals. 
 
The 'Bows finished the 2014 season at 22-7 and 13-3 in the Big West Conference. They opened the NCAA Tournament with a dominating sweep of Duke before falling to host and third-seeded Washington in the second round.
