Hawaii outside hitter Ravyn Dash (32) keeps the ball in play against Long Beach State during the second set of an NCAA womens volleyball game on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Hawaii\u2019s season came to an end tonight with Long Beach State eliminating the Rainbow Wahine from postseason play in a 25-18, 23-25, 25-23, 25-16 victory at Bankoh Arena at Stan Sheriff Center.<\/p>\n

A season-high crowd of 5,137 showed up for a win or stay home match for UH after UC Irvine upset Cal Poly in straight sets earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

UH took its first set off the Beach this season, but ultimately faltered to finish the worst season in program history with a 12-17 record and 8-10 mark in conference play, finishing in a tie for sixth with the Anteaters.<\/p>\n

UCI won the tiebreaker to advance to the Outrigger Big West Women\u2019s Volleyball Championship by virtue of its three-set win over Hawaii in the only match between the two schools this season.<\/p>\n

Hawaii had never lost more than 12 games or finished with a losing record until this season.<\/p>\n

UH\u2019s streak of 31 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances comes to an end.<\/p>\n
