COLUMBUS, Ohio — Back at the site of a national championship run, the University of Hawai’i men’s volleyball team continued its quest for a third title with a four-set win over Penn State in the quarterfinals of the National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball Championship on Thursday at the Covelli Center in Columbus, Ohio.
 
After trailing by eight early in the opening set, the second-seeded Rainbow Warriors roared back then held off the No. 7-seeded Nittany Lions on their way to a 25-19, 21-25, 25-23, 25-23 victory.
 
The Rainbow Warriors (27-5) advanced to face UCLA (21-6) in a semifinal match on Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time (2 p.m. Hawai’i Time). The Bruins swept Belmont Abbey in Thursday’s first quarterfinal match. UH and UCLA will add another chapter to their storied rivalry in their first meeting since the Bruins’ 3-1 win in the 2023 NCAA Championship final in Fairfax, Va.
 
UH freshman Finn Kearney led the Warriors with 16 kills and fired a season-high four aces, three coming in the opening set. Middle blockers Justin Todd and Kurt Nusterer combined for 17 kills on .667 hitting and were in on seven of UH’s 10 blocks.
 
Todd finished eight kills on 10 error-free attempts, including match point, and also contributed two aces and four blocks. Nusterer, a senior from Indianapolis, added nine kills on 14 swings while hitting .571 and had three blocks in his return to the Midwest.
 
Outside hitter Louis Sakanoko also had nine kills and delivered three aces, two coming in the fourth set to help the Warriors close out the match. All-America setter Tread Rosenthal distributed 38 assists and put away five kills of his own.
 

 
UH captured the 2021 NCAA crown in the Covelli Center and opened the program’s 10th appearance in the national championship tournament with its second win over Penn State this season. The Warriors swept the Nittany Lions in the OUTRIGGER Invitational on March 14 and managed to fend off the upset bid in Thursday’s rematch.
 
Penn State scored the first six points of the match before Nusterer got UH on the board.  The Nittany Lions’ attack started 7 for 8 without an error and their lead grew to 11-3. Kearney turned the momentum with three aces in a 9-0 UH run to propel the Warriors to their first lead of the day. After UH opened up a three-point cushion, Penn State tied the set again at 17-17. But UH went on an 8-2 surge to pull away and closed out the set hitting .367 to Penn State’s .148.
 
Penn State took a 16-14 lead midway through the second set and built a 21-16 margin. The Nittany Lions led 23-18 after UH’s eighth attack error of the set. UH fought off two set points on kills by Nusterer and Kearney but Penn State finished off the set to even the match.
 
Penn State again took a lead early in the third set before UH moved ahead at 15-13 with a 5-1 run heading into the technical timeout. The Warriors edged ahead and took a 21-18 lead when Sakanoko landed an ace in front of the Penn State defense. The Nittany Lions answered back to tie the set at 22-22. After a Penn State attack sailed long, Rosenthal fired another ace to give UH set point. Penn State stayed alive for a point but Nusterer split the block for his sixth kill to end the set.
 

 
The fourth set was again tight and Sakanoko pushed UH ahead at 18-17 with back-to-back aces. There were five ties before UH took a 23-22 lead on a Penn State error. Todd and Sakanoko then combined on a block that was upheld after a review to give UH match point. After a Penn State kill and a UH timeout, Todd hammered his final kill to close out the match.  
 

 
Penn State’s Matthew Luoma led the Nittany Lions with a match-high 17 kills and Will Kuhns added 11 kills.

‘Trinbago Beach’ action in Chaguanas | Local Sports

THE Trinbago Beach Volleyball Tour continues with an Under-18 tournament over the next two days at Saith Park, Chaguanas.

It will be the second competition for the youngest category in the series, which also includes action in Under-21, Under-23 and the open divisions.

After winning the men’s title in the first open tournament two months ago, Daneil Williams and Daynte Stewart struck gold again in the second stage two weeks ago.

The title favourites defeated Marlon Phillip and Jahreef Miguel 21-18, 21-18 for the trophy, after a 21-14, 21-18 semi-final triumph over Jerome Morrison and Janeiro Atherley. Phillip and Miguel nosed out Kareem Thomas and Tevin Edwards 19-21, 21-16, 15-13 to advance to the title match.

Like the champions, La Teisha Joseph made it two-out-of-two in the women’s event. After combining with Apphia Glasgow to capture the title in the first leg in mid-April, she teamed with Malika Davidson for gold this time.

The multiple NORCECA (North, Central America and the Caribbean) Beach Tour players defeated scored a hard-fought 23-21, 22-20 triumph over Tsyan Selvon and Danielle Noel-Kelly in the final.

Davidson, who flew the red, white and black flag in the Olympic Youth Games in China in 2014, and Joseph had whipped Kaylon Cruickshank and Aaliyah Alexis 21-12, 21-12 in the semis, while Selvon and Noel-Kelly scraped home 27-25, 15-21, 15-13 against Meeka Johnson and L’fe Roberts, a leading Under-18 pair of 2023.

After winning the first leg, Joseph and Glasgow represented the country in the opening leg of the NORCECA Beach Tour in Cuba at the beginning of last month.

But Williams and Stewart did not make the trip, and runners-up Stephen Enile and Joel Theodore also travelled to Dominican Republic for the second leg in the middle of the month.

The NORCECA Under-23 beach Tour got going the following weekend at the same venue, and T&T were represented by the winners of first “Trinbago” leg of this category, Kristianna Richards and Adalia Badroe and Morrison and Miguel.

The Trinbago Tour began with an U-18 tournament in early April, and Jessica Castagne-Hay and Skye La Fon and Darion Sparks and Josie Cedeno were the champs.

The second leg of the NORCECA U-23 series serves off next week Friday in Cayman Islands, while the third event in the NORCECA open circuit begins the following Friday in Honduras.

Zagreb, Croatia – June 14 – The USA Men’s Junior National Team lost their opener at the U20 Word Championship, falling 19-10 to Croatia earlier today. Ryder Dodd led the team in scoring with four goals while Charles Mills and Baxter Chelsom combined for eight saves in net. Team USA is back in the pool tomorrow as they continue group play with a meeting against Hungary at 11:30am et/8:30am pt. All matches are scheduled to stream live on the World Aquatics YouTube.

Croatia opened the scoring with a tally at the 5:22 mark but Dodd immediately tied the game on the next possession delivering on a penalty shot score. The two sides would trade goals until Croatia hit for two in a row to build a 4-2 edge with 1:39 to play. William Schneider kept Team USA afloat scoring two of the next three goals to make it a 5-4 game with less than a minute to go in the opening quarter. Croatia had the last word, scoring with :25 on the clock to build a two-goal lead going to the second quarter.

Team USA came out strong to open the second quarter as Peter Castillo hit on a power play followed by a Ryan Ohl goal in close for a 6-6 game roughly two minutes into the period. The lowest scoring quarter of the match stayed quiet on the offensive end until the 2:08 mark when the host country broke through with an extra man goal for a 7-6 lead. They added another power play goal a minute later to go in front 8-6 at halftime. 

Croatia took control of this match in the third, outscoring Team USA 6-1. They opened the period with three unanswered goals to increase their lead to five at 11-6. Dodd stopped the bleeding with a tally but Croatia went right back to work scoring three more goals in the quarter to go ahead 14-7 with one period left to play. Dodd hit on a penalty shot to make it 15-8 with 6:44 to play in the game but the United States would get no closer. Croatia added five goals in the fourth to surge to the nine-goal victory.

Alas Pilipinas on Saturday rose to no. 46 in the FIVB women’s world rankings.

Before the AVC Nations Cup, the women’s national volleyball team was at no. 56.

According to Asian Volleyball Confederation head and Philippine National Volleyball Federation president Ramon ‘Tats’ Suzara, the past three years have shown that the program is working for the national team.

“The past three years was all upward for our national program in all disciplines—volleyball and beach—thanks to the support of our stakeholders,” Suzara said in a statement.

Last year, Alas claimed bronze in the AVC Challenge Cup, and now the Philippines has a chance for the gold medal in the same but rebranded tournament AVC Nations Cup.

“Last year, our best brought us to the bronze, and this time, it’s going to bring us to higher heights,” Alas Pilipinas team captain Jia De Guzman said. “So we’re just going to bring our best again—and no matter what, this is for the country.”

Alas will take on Vietnam in the finals on Saturday night.

FIS Approves Prize Money Increase Across All World Cup Disciplines for 2025–26 Season

The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) voted to increase prize money across all FIS World Cup disciplines for the 2025-26 season. During the 56th FIS Council Meeting held in Geneva on June 12–13, council members approved a boost of up to 20% in athlete prize money—10% guaranteed by FIS, with an additional 10% to be voluntarily contributed by each Local Organizing Committee (LOC).

Currently, FIS mandates that the LOC of each FIS World Cup Alpine race makes available at least CHF 144,000 (USD 177,716) for prize money, divided among the Top 30 finishers. Up until the 2023-24 season, first place at most FIS Alpine races was decorated with CHF 50,000. However, that figure was reduced to CHF 47,000, with the redistributed funds benefitting lower-ranking athletes. A 20% increase for the 2025-26 season would translate to a total of CHF 172,800 (USD 213,260). Notably, FIS rules stipulate equal minimum prize money for men and women across all World Cup events, underscoring a commitment to gender equality in the sport.

“It is clear that we still have a lot to do when it comes to rewarding our athletes as they deserve. This is an important step, but only another one in a long way ahead.”
– Johan Eliasch, FIS President

Prize money varies significantly between FIS disciplines. Alpine skiing remains the most lucrative, with the CHF 144,000 baseline (soon CHF 172,800) and CHF 47,000 awarded to the winner. In contrast, cross-country skiing events have a CHF 55,000 purse per race, with CHF 15,000 going to the winner and prizes extended to the top 20. Snowboarding and freestyle skiing see even less, with CHF 30,000 per event and CHF 13,500 to the winner, split among just the top 10 athletes.

Exactly how the prize increase will be implemented across individual venues remains uncertain. While FIS sets the minimum, the actual prize money often depends on the financial capacity of host venues—tied to sponsorship deals, broadcasting rights, and public funding. The Hahnenkamm races in Kitzbühel, Austria, currently offer the highest first-place prize of CHF 100,000, well above the FIS minimum. Whether the Kitzbühel Ski Club (K.S.C.) will match the proposed 20% increase remains to be seen; they typically announce their prize structure in October.

Prize money records could soon be broken. Mikaela Shiffrin set the women’s record in the 2022–23 season with CHF 964,200 in World Cup earnings and an additional CHF 114,000 from the World Championships—surpassing CHF 1 million in total. Marco Odermatt set the men’s record that same year, earning CHF 941,200. With the upcoming increase, both athletes—and others in the field—could surpass those milestones in 2025–26.

FIS’s move to raise prize money signals a broader commitment to athlete recognition and financial fairness across winter sports. While implementation will depend on the capacity of individual venues, the initiative marks a significant step toward better compensating elite skiers and snowboarders. As the 2025–26 season approaches, all eyes will be on whether the sport’s biggest names—and its most iconic venues—rise to meet the moment.

Landon Currie’s squad defeated Germany 3-2 on Wednesday, fell 3-2 to Argentina Thursday

Vernon’s Landon Currie is off to a strong start with Team Canada at the Volleyball Nations League 2025. 

Canada won the final two sets to stun Team Germany 3-2 in the opener of the worldwide tournament held in China Wednesday, June 11. 

The Canadians lost a tight first set 25-23 before taking the second set 25-19. Germany then secured the third set 25-21 to put themselves in a winning position. 

But Canada finished strong, winning the last two sets 25-23 and 15-11 to take the match. 

The showdown between the two countries had plenty of excitement and momentum swings. 

“In an absolute roller coaster of a battle, Canada kicked off their Volleyball Nations League 2025 campaign with a spectacular thriller win over Germany,” the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation said on social media Wednesday. 

Canada played Argentina on Thursday and the result was a reversal of their first game as they lost 3-2, with Argentina winning the last two sets 25-22 and 15-8. 

Currie is a libero for Team Canada, a key position that plays a defensive role and wears a different coloured jersey. Currie is wearing number 97 at the Nations League.

With one win in two games, Canada sits in eighth place out of 18 teams in the first round standings. In this preliminary phase, each team will play 12 matches across three competition weeks. The top eight teams will advance to the quarterfinals. 

Canada’s next game is against France on Saturday, June 14, at 1 p.m. PST. France has yet to win a game in the early goings of the tournament. 

Canada faces Bulgaria on Sunday at 3 p.m. Bulgaria is also winless so far. 

Team Canada finished in sixth place at the 2024 Nations League, their best-ever result at the tournament.
