Stanford, Calif. - The Stanford University men's volleyball team returns to action on Wednesday, March 29th and Thursday, March 30th as they host the University of Hawai'I. Both matches will begin at 7 p.m. and will be held in Burnham Pavilion on the Stanford campus.

Hawai'I enters the match with a No. 3 national ranking and sitting in second place in the MPSF with a 13-3 conference record. UH has won 13 matches in a row, including knocking off previous No. 1 Pepperdine in straight sets in Malibu, Calif. Hawai'I presents a balanced offensive attack, as all five starting hitters are hitting above .300 for the season.

Stanford returns to MPSF action after a 17-day break from competition due to winter quarter finals. Leading the Cardinal this season are senior opposite Ben Reddy (4.82 kill per game), senior middle blocker Chris Ahlfeldt (54 total blocks), and junior libero Brian Lindberg (2.07 digs per game). Stanford is currently 4-18 on the season and 2-14 in the MPSF.
