2007 HNU Ends Season with Win Over CAL Club Team in 5 Oakland , CA - The Hawks did not go quietly into the end of their rollercoaster season on Wednesday night. They battled the CAL Bears Club team for the win, 2-3, in five games (30-23, 23-30, 30-28, 27-30, 14-16). HNU finishes the year at 9-13 overall, with hopes that the inconsistencies that have plagued them throughout the season can be overcome with a little change of perspective. That perspective changed when the Hawks were able to finish game 5 after CAL tied it at 14. CAL's Peter Salatich, Ivan Kovacevic and Neil Cline each had 11 Kills for the Bears, but none of them were able to post positive hitting percentages in the loss. Kovacevic put up 6 Blocks and Zack Kass tossed up 38 Assists. HNU's Chad Miller slammed 21 Kills home, while Erik Joller and Kevin McColloch each added 18 Kills to the count.

2007 Tough Schedule is Rollercoaster Ride for Men's Volleyball - Latest Win Pushes HNU into Consideration for Top 10 Oakland, CA - HNU's Men's Volleyball team has been playing hard the past few weeks, meeting some of the best teams in the nation, learning that there are definite peaks and valleys within a season that just have to be ridden out. When last reported, the Hawks were coming off a disappointing road trip to Riverside, playing against the #1 ranked Cal Baptist and top ten team Cardinal Stritch of Wisconsin. HNU bounced back to defeat San Jose State University club team 3-1 (20-25, 25-23, 25-21, 25-23). Things were looking up when the Hawks went to the Lindenwood Tourney for play on Jan uary 27 th and 28 th in Missouri, where they defeated Moody Bible in the first round, 3 games to none. Then came matches against top ten powerhouses Lindenwood (MO), Missouri Baptist and Graceland (IA). HNU lost 1-3, 0-3, and 2-3, respectively, resulting in hard fought matches, all of them, to be sure. February found the Hawks playing at UC-Santa Cruz (L, 0-3) and Fresno State (L, 0-3) before heading to the Davis FarWestern Tournament with play against the club teams of Sacramento State (L, 2-1), UC-Santa Barbara (W, 2-0), Fresno State (W, 2-0), UCLA (L, 0-2), Cal Poly (W, 2-0), and UC-Davis (L, 0-2). The tournament generated a 3-3 record for the weekend. HNU's match against UC-Berkeley's club team was called due to a power outage on February 22, while the Hawks were in the midst of winning game 2. The match is due to be rescheduled at a later date. February 23 found the Hawks playing Hope International, the sixth top ten rated team HNU has faced this season. The Hawks played a great match but dropped the match 3-2 (22-30, 30-28, 29-31, 30-16, 15-11). HNU will have an opportunity at a rematch against Hope on March 19 th , at Hope in Fullerton. HNU next faced their seventh top ten opponent, Johnson and Wales (CO), in Riverside, on March 3, where the Hawks thumped the 8th ranked J&W 0-3 for the win. This showing prompted one of the four National rater's to vote for HNU into the top ten ranking at the 10th position, but we missed the ranking. The Hawks have an overall record against NAIA/NCAA schools of 4-7, with a record of 4-4 against club teams. The season continues with a home game against UC-Santa Cruz on March 9 th , Saint Mary's on March 16 th , Hope on March 19 th and rounding out the season on March 28 at UC-Berkeley for a rematch against the club team.
