Number of the Day
1, 2, 3 - Okay, this is cheating because this is three numbers. Today we have the 1st match of the year. This is also our first look at the #2 ranked Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors who made big moves in the offseason hoping to win their 3rd (officially recognized1) national championship.
Yesterday’s Scores
Today is the first match of the season, so there was nothing yesterday.
Today’s Match Projections
Non-conference
NJIT (11%) vs Hawai’i (89%)
The 2002 national championship match was won by Hawaii, but the win was vacated due to NCAA violations. Given the current landscape of college sports, the NCAA should really look at the 2002 and 2003 (Lewis) championships.
